Judd Apatow and Eugene Levy Together for the First Time Raising Funds for COVID-19

On November 22, 2020, The Canadian Shaare Zedek Hospital Foundation will be dedicating 24 hours for a special crowdfunding giving day to raise over $600,000 to benefit Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem. The hospital has opened its fifth COVID-19 Department and requires critical funds to purchase lifesaving equipment. Shaare Zedek is Jerusalem’s headquarters for COVID-19 relief, decontamination, a leading authority on disaster management and emergency response protocols.

The CODE BLUE 2.0 campaign kicks off at 10:00 a.m., when the website will go live for only 24 hours. Every dollar raised during the crowdfunding period will be quadrupled by a pool of matching donors. By using the power of social media, crowdfunding, influencers, celebrity ambassadors, and a team of volunteers across Canada, the foundation will garner awareness and raise funds before the clock runs out to help reach, and hopefully surpass, the $600,000 goal.

Using the help of a star-studded cast including acclaimed Hollywood producer, Judd Apatow, Schitts Creek Emmy Award winner, Eugene Levy, master illusionist and America’s Got Talent winner, Shin Lim, Broadway’s Rent cast member, Adam Pascal and more special guests will virtually come together for a telethon on the special giving day. Every donor who makes a gift to the campaign, both in advance and on November 22, will receive a link to enjoy the entertainment.
