In the special, the Indiana burgh’s most optimistic resident, Leslie Knope , connects with her fellow citizens at a time of social distancing.“Like a lot of other people, we were looking for ways to help and felt that bringing these characters back for a night could raise some money,” executive producer and series co-creatorsaid in a statement. “I sent a hopeful email to the cast and they all got back to me within 45 minutes.
State Farm and Subaru of America will each make matching donations of $150,000. Combined with those from NBCUniversal and the writers, producers and cast of “Parks and Recreation,” a total of $500,000 in matching donations will be made through May 21.
