TagMango Organises a Live-Streaming Event with Celebrities to Raise Donations for PM-CARES Fund
A three-day-long star-studded virtual event to raise funds for COVID-19 and kill the boredom of the isolated audience
TagMango, a Y-Combinator backed celebrity connect platform, has taken a novel route to fight against COVID-19 by organizing a live-streaming event to entertain the masses during the social distancing period. The event aims to encourage donations pan-India with any amount starting from INR 100 to 25,000. The three-day star-studded event (from 10-12 April, 2020) will help raise funds by the startup, while extending its collective support to the PM Cares Fund initiative.

“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the people working for our safety in the frontline but that is not enough. While morally we stand by the government, it is our duty to provide financial assistance as much as we can in the difficult times. With this event, we hope we are able to do so”, said Divyanshu Damani, Co-Founder.
The mega virtual event will not only entertain but also give fans an opportunity to mingle with their favorite celebrities during a live interaction QnA, performances, and comedy shows.
