Saving Our Selves: A BET COVID-19 Relief Effort, or simply, Saving Our Selves, was a 2020 television special which aired on the American television network BET on April 22, 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hosted by Anthony Anderson, Kelly Rowland, Terrence J, and Regina Hall, the two-hour special was made to raise funds for the BET COVID-19 Relief Effort Fund, established by BET in collaboration with United Way Worldwide, aimed to support African Americans who have been severely impacted by the pandemic.
The special was simulcast on sister channels BET Her and MTV2 (with an immediate encore broadcast on VH1), along with Bounce TV. It was also broadcast worldwide via BET International and streamed on BET's website and its social media platforms, along with BET+, Tidal and Pluto TV.
It was later reported that the special has raised $16 million in funds.
