Rise Together, Sweat Together is a virtual fitness fundraiser to support Chef Jose Andres' World Central Kitchen

RISE TOGETHER, SWEAT TOGETHER: A VIRTUAL FITNESS FUNDRAISER supports World Central Kitchens' Covid-19 relief work. The music video is leading up to a date of virtual fitness on June 14.

WCK is working across America to safely distribute individually packaged, fresh meals in communities that need support – for children and families to pick up and take home, as well as delivery to seniors who cannot venture outside. WCK is now active in dozens of cities providing over 250,000 fresh meals every day.

The video features accomplished stage and screen performers as well as a special appearance by Dr. Madeline Deutsch, physician and assistant professor of medicine at Jacobi Medical Center Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx.
