b'The challenge of a Crisis can sometimes lead to extraordinary innovation and unique partnerships. That\\u2019s exactly what\\u2019s happening at Temple University with the Temple University COVID Assistance Team (TUCAT). I mean we\\u2019re seeing engineers collaborating with artists and architects among others who have joined forces to come up with creative solutions for mass producing medical shields for healthcare workers and so much more. I spoke with Michael Kala\\u2019i who heads up the Temple Covid-19 Assistance Team.

One of the coolest fundraisers is Living Beyond Breast Cancer\\u2019s Reach and Raise yoga on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of art. Thousands of people gather on the steps to raise money for this organization that provides support and resources for women living with breast cancer. For obvious reasons \\u2013 this event will now be virtual. LBBC Reach and Raise Team Captain Janet Marie Doherty tells us how you can join in.
