#IStayHomeFor Unites Globe During Pandemic

If you were on social media, read articles online, or watched morning news during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, chances are you came across our #IStayHomeFor campaign. Launched by actor and philantrhopist Kevin Bacon, the campaign was created in order to encourage more people to stay socially distant by staying home during this global crisis. It quickly gained momentum and spread to more than 50 countries around the world!

Recognizing not everyone was able to stay at home, Bacon encouraged those that could stay home to do so. Everywhere we looked, we saw people sharing the many reasons why they chose to stay home and stay safe.

Many people shared they stayed home to help our healthcare workers and those on the front lines, understanding that many people can be carriers and spread the virus, making it more difficult for our healthcare facilities and available resources. Elton John, David Beckham, Millie Bobby Brown and Mariah Carey are just a few of the celebrities who leveraged their immense platforms to spread this important campaign.
