NFL Draft Leads The Way With Fundraising
The other major initiative launched last week was the All-In-Challenge. As of press time, that challenge had already raised over $20 Million with 100% of the donation goes to feed those in need.
We are proud of the outstanding work we have seen from so many in the sports business world. Athletes, teams, leagues, foundations, governing bodies, sponsors and so many more have come together to prove:
#SportsPhilanthropyNeverSleeps
The Sports Philanthropy Network has been working closely with other sports nonprofits during this time to put together some initiatives which it will unveil over the coming weeks. These initiatives will focus on the concepts of: 1) Health and Safety; 2) Access to Sports; 3) Diversity, Equality and Inclusion. As we release more specifics about each of these areas, we hope that you will assist our mission by becoming a Member of the Sports Philanthropy Network or making a donation to support these specific initiatives.
