“All in WA” is a statewide relief effort raising money to support Washington residents impacted by the coronavirus pandemic on all levels. The group’s fund has already raised $20 million of a $65 million goal, and concert viewers will be directed to donate during the show. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has pledged to match individual donations under $1 million, up to a total of $25 million.
