The NFT platform for social good Metagood transformed a selfie taken by fine art photographer Reka Nyari and converted it into a priceless NFT, raising $200,000 by itself. Altogether, the fundraiser accumulated a whopping $1.6 million for CORE’s crucial frontline COVID-19 aid. Focusing on the most vulnerable communities with the least amount of resources, CORE is responsible for having provided approximately 3 million vaccinations and about 6 million tests worldwide to date.
Emceed by comedian Luenell, the evening included a DJ set by Mia Moretti, and a musical performance by Anitta. From the Arnault family, to Serena Williams and Marc Anthony, the night hosted a multitude of notable guests. Sponsored by American Airlines, artist Mr. Kaves and skincare guru Peter Thomas Roth were also in attendance along with actress Patricia Velasquez and Latin Grammy winners Youtel Romeo and Beatriz Luengo.
