LOS ANGELES, May 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Knighted, a leading cardroom and casino service provider in California and Florida, is matching donations to Omaze's COVID-19 relief initiative through their #QuaranteamChallenge fundraiser. To participate, teams submit videos filmed from the safety of their homes illustrating how they're spending their time in quarantine. "As this pandemic continues to isolate us in its grip, it couldn't be a better time to unite virtually to help those on the front lines," says Jieho Lee, Managing Partner at Knighted.

Omaze, the online fundraising platform, has organized a direct relief fundraising campaign to support the work of five front line organizations: International Medical Corps, Save the Children, No Kid Hungry, Feeding America, and Team Rubicon. Other matching partners include the Andre Agassi Foundation for Education, The Eisner Foundation, Task Us and Inspire.

"Omaze is committed to supporting COVID-19 relief efforts and those working on the front lines, and we're thrilled to have the support of Knighted Ventures," said Matt Pohlson, CEO and Co-Founder of Omaze. "We've vetted the organizations that we feel are making the biggest impact on the ground and rallied our community around them. Having Knighted Ventures' support will make a huge impact for these organizations working around the clock to support those affected by the crisis."
