To help raise additional funds, the Foundation has also launched The Inner Light Challenge, inspired by the Harrison-penned Beatles tune of the same name .

"These lyrics sung by George are a positive reminder to all of us who are isolating, in quarantine or respecting the request to shelter in place," Olivia Harrison said in a statement. "Let's get and stay connected at this difficult time. There are things we can do to help and we invite you to share your Inner Light."
The challenge asks people around the globe to share a verse, chorus, or line from the song and post it with the hashtag #innerlight2020. For every person that shares their own "Inner Light" moment on social media using the hashtag, the Material World Foundation will give another $1 (up to $100,000) to help those affected by the virus.
