林书豪13日晚间发起一项对抗新冠肺炎(COVID-19)的募款活动,鼓励大家「成为他人的光」,他最多将捐出100万美金,帮助因疫情而缺乏食物失业的人,并将一部份资金用于添购急需医疗物资医护人员。虽然他在《球员论坛》再次提到亚裔族群陷入种族歧视危机,但他强调没有要责怪任何人,呼吁所有人团结。

I NEVER EVER make post these types of videos but times are different. Im launching a COVID-19 campaign called #BeTheLight where I'll be donating $500,000 and matching an additional $500,000. But it isnt about my donation which isnt even a drop in the bucket for what the world needs. We need unity! Aside from money theres other ways to get involved (my @playerstribune article in IG story, donation link in bio). Tbh I don't blame anyone who has bitterness, confusion, anger or hate. Thats normal. My hope is we all recognize and sit with those emotions, but I also pray that bitterness turns to heartache which turns to empathy which ultimately turns to action! Imagine the person in the hospital bed struggling to breathe. Imagine the person who cant even see their loved one fighting for their life. Imagine the person grindin day and night as a frontline worker tremendously at risk. Who can't go home and see their family and children fearing to infect them. Imagine the person who can't sleep at night because there's no food for their next meal. Who can't provide food for their children. Imagine the person whose small business and lifelong dream shut down. Imagine the person who is fighting depression and suicide due to the lockdown. Try to imagine all those hurting in ways we don't even know about. Lets put ourselves in others shoes, but thats not enough. We must step up and help now! #BeTheLight p.s. I didnt put it at the end of the article but when this is all said and done, in n out on me!

林书豪透过个人基金会发起募款活动,先捐出50万美金帮助面临饥饿和失业的人民,并为缺乏医疗物资的医护人员提供帮助,「我的捐款对这世界来说只是杯水车薪,我们需要团结在一起!」他承诺大众捐多少,他就捐多少,最高会捐出「等额」的50万美金。

截至14日下午1点30分,募款网页显示有51,453美金的善款涌入。他强调除了捐款,也可以用其他方式来参与这个活动,「我会不责怪任何感到痛苦、困惑、愤怒或仇恨的人,这是正常的情绪。我希望我们可以认识并接受这些情绪」

林书豪期盼大家能转化负面情绪为同理心,并且付诸行动帮助他人,「设身处地为别人着想,但这还不够,我们必须站出来去帮助他人。」他透过影片诚恳呼吁大家加入他的行列,「现在对所有人来说都是很艰难的一段时光,我们要团结起来,一起找寻解决的方法。」

林书豪选择捐赠的组织有两个,一个是设有超过200间粮食银行非营利组织「Feeding America」;另一个是募集必要医疗资源的非营利组织「Direct Relief」。
