In May 2019 Spike hosted the launch event for Earth's Call Fund on the campus of the Aspen Institute. The three day conference was a gathering of 700 environmentalists from the US and several other countries, culminating with a three hour concert, featuring among others Patti LaBelle, the Alan Parsons Band and a 50-piece orchestra from Los Angeles conducted by Cheche Alara. A subsequent concert focused on the climate crisis was planned for 2020 in the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta in cooperation with Mercedes Benz USA, but Covid-19 scuttled that plan.
