BET Announces Coronavirus Relief Special “Saving Ourselves” Hosted By Terrence J, Kelly Rowland & Regina Hall

One of the few positives to come from the coronavirus outbreak is how many have stepped up to help out those who need it most—and now that includes BET. The network just announced its upcoming coronavirus relief special hosted by Terrence J, Kelly Rowland and Regina Hall.

@BET, in partnership with the NAACP, United Way Worldwide and other leaders within the African-American community, will provide financial, educational and community support directly to those hit hardest by coronavirus crisis. The first of the initiatives is the upcoming COVID-19 relief special “Saving Ourselves: A BET COVID-19 Relief Effort”—which is a televised relief fund in partnership with United Way Worldwide to assist people of color most impacted by current health and financial hardships due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The “Saving Ourselves” special is set to air on Wednesday, April 22nd at 8PM and will feature the co-hosting trio of Terrence J, Kelly Rowland and Regina Hall. The BET special will also feature virtual appearances and musical performances from some of the biggest names in music as they share tips on how to manage during the pandemic. Some of the celebrity appearances and performances include: DJ Khaled, Charlie Wilson, Chance The Rapper, Kirk Franklin, Fantasia and more. Additionally, all proceeds will be donated to African-American communities severely impacted by the coronavirus, including New York City, Atlanta, New Orleans, Detroit and Chicago.

Connie Orlando, EVP of Specials, Music Programming & Music Strategy at BET, said this about the relief effort:

“Our goal for this special is to come together in a collective spirit of strength, community and hope. As we unite in harmony and compassion, through the collective healing power of music, comedy and entertainment, we can bring restoration and inspire the world that our brighter days are ahead.”

Well, we will definitely be tuning in!
