New York City, New York — On May 3, 2020 at 12:00 PM EST the Rebel Legion will hold our first ever Webathon to support UNICEF’s Global COVID-19 Response Fund. The Webathon will run for twelve (12) hours concluding and building up excitement to usher in May Fourth. May Fourth, also known as Star Wars Day to millions of fans across the world, is celebrated to commemorate the single largest film and science fiction franchise made.
Members of the Rebel Legion and talent from the Star Wars movies and animation will be coming together to celebrate the magic of the Star Wars Universe over these twelve hours and help raise money to fight the COVID-19 virus and to help the millions affected by the virus.
We will be streaming live from New York City, one of the areas hardest hit by the pandemic, from Rebel Legion’s Facebook page:

All funds will be collected by UNICEF, which is a Disney and LFL partner for Force for Change, and go directly to the global effort. All tax detectable contributions go to support the COVID-19 Recovery Fund.
