Addressing the communities around the world, a global check-in segment for "BET SAVING OUR SELVES: COVID-19 RELIEF EFFORT" will highlight how various regions around the globe are coping through COVID-19. BET Breaks' International talent Nomalanga (South Africa), Flora Coquerel (France), and Jourdan Riane (UK) will report on how the pandemic is affecting their countries.

Corporate brand donors who have generously contributed to the fund include Procter & Gamble, Unilever, Toyota, Salesforce, McDonald's, AARP, Pine-Sol(R), Morgan Stanley, TJ Maxx, Weight Watchers, and NBA.
