Throughout the third weekend of April, people across the globe have joined forces and took a huge step forward in the continuing fight against the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic as ONE Championship, the largest and most valuable global sports media property in Asian history, teamed up with Global Citizen to broadcast the "One World: Together At Home" global music special featuring exclusive performances, messages of encouragement from A-list celebrities and much more.

As announced by ONE CEO Chatri Sityodtong on his official Facebook page, the "One World: Together At Home" concert raised an astonishing US$127.9 million which will greatly benefit the World Health Organization's COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund and the healthcare workers serving as frontliners in fighting the virus and saving lives. Curated in collaboration with Lady Gaga and hosted by three of America's favorite late-night talk show hosts today, "One World: Together At Home" featured incredibly spectacular performances from the top names in the music scene including Alicia Keys, Andrea Bocelli, Elton John, Jennifer Lopez, John Legend, Kacey Musgraves, Keith Urban, LL Cool J, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Sam Smith, Steve Wonder and Taylor Swift among many others.

The concert featured support from several ONE Championship stars who have shared their own messages of hope and encouragement and workout routines that can be used in one's daily exercises while at home prior to the main show. These include ONE VP Miesha Tate, ONE Heavyweight World Champion Brandon "The Truth" Vera, two-division world champion Aung La N Sang, Angela and Christian Lee, Demitrious Johnson, Eddie Alvarez, Martin Nguyen, Stamp Fairtex, Eduard Folayang, Nong-O and Sam-A Gaiyanghadao, Giorgio Petrosyan, Rodtang Jitmuangnon, Alain Ngalani, Rika Ishige, Vitor Belfort and John Wayne Parr. Those who have missed the two-hour live global broadcast can binge-watch the full show on the ONE Super App and @ONEChampionship on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube but for a limited time only.

The "One World: Together At Home" global concert extravaganza may be in the books, but it is never too late for anyone to make a contribution while playing safe within the comforts of their own home as the World Health Organization (WHO) is still accepting donations for the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund. For ONE Championship's part, ten percent of the proceeds from its new online merchandise store ONE.SHOP will go to the WHO COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund and the projects of other community organizations while 100 percent of the proceeds from sales of ONE's recently-launched limited edition 'We Are ONE' T-shirts on ONE.SHOP will be forwarded to the same causes as well.
