As the COVID-19 pandemic began to spread globally in 2020, many regular events and activities were cancelled. Several organizations shifted to on-line versions of their events. The Community Foundation of PE hosted a first-time Stay-At-Home Gala on April 24, 2020. The event raised money for not-for-profits, small businesses and artists impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic on PEI. Other companies like local printing company Stay Golden Custom, offered their help by creating a series of fundraising t-shirts featuring memorable and humorous quotes from Island politicians. Ten dollars from every shirt sale was donated to the Community Foundation's fundraising.?
