林書豪13日晚間發起一項對抗新冠肺炎(COVID-19)的募款活動，鼓勵大家「成爲他人的光」，他最多將捐出100萬美金，幫助因疫情而缺乏食物、失業的人，並將一部份資金用於添購急需醫療物資的醫護人員。雖然他在《球員論壇》再次提到亞裔族羣陷入種族歧視危機，但他強調沒有要責怪任何人，呼籲所有人團結。
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!

林書豪透過個人基金會發起募款活動，先捐出50萬美金幫助面臨飢餓和失業的人民，併爲缺乏醫療物資的醫護人員提供幫助，「我的捐款對這世界來說只是杯水車薪，我們需要團結在一起！」他承諾大衆捐多少，他就捐多少，最高會捐出「等額」的50萬美金。
截至14日下午1點30分，募款網頁顯示有51,453美金的善款涌入。他強調除了捐款，也可以用其他方式來參與這個活動，「我會不責怪任何感到痛苦、困惑、憤怒或仇恨的人，這是正常的情緒。我希望我們可以認識並接受這些情緒」
林書豪期盼大家能轉化負面情緒爲同理心，並且付諸行動幫助他人，「設身處地爲別人着想，但這還不夠，我們必須站出來去幫助他人。」他透過影片誠懇呼籲大家加入他的行列，「現在對所有人來說都是很艱難的一段時光，我們要團結起來，一起找尋解決的方法。」
林書豪選擇捐贈的組織有兩個，一個是設有超過200間糧食銀行的非營利組織「Feeding America」；另一個是募集必要醫療資源的非營利組織「Direct Relief」。
