Ninja later retweeted the video and said, “I’ll be there.”

Rapper and record producer Lil Jon, who will also participate in the interactive charity event, challenged the NFL star to a game of Madden in a video he posted on Twitter. As a result, Gronk will also be playing Madden apart from Warzone.

The amount raised through the COV-AID charity event will be donated to non-profit organizations like Americares and the Boys & Girls Clubs. Therefore, the proceedings will massively benefit the organizations in their fight against COVID-19. Both organizations are putting in incredible effort for a noble cause to help COVID-19 first responders and their families.

The Celebs Are Contributing To A Noble Cause

The COV-AID charity event is just one in a string of coronavirus-related acts of charity. Most recently, CouRage raised a massive amount of $500,000 on his birthday stream to donate to charity. Meanwhile, companies like Nintendo and Razer have either vouched to donate or even produce protective masks to give to COVID-19 volunteers.

Ninja has already donated generous amounts to charities like Feeding America. Marshmello joined FaZe Clan for a live stream of Warzone, which raised nearly $50,000 for COVID-19 charity in March. Apart from that, FaZe Clan has also hosted tournaments for charity.

Such acts are certainly heartwarming in this uncertain and worrying time. Moreover, it delivers a positive message, especially to the families that have suffered losses due to COVID-19.
