RACISM TAKES CENTER STAGE
This week we are releasing our comprehensive report which compiles all of the statements teams, leagues and other groups have made for about their efforts to condemn racism and their actions to combat racism.
Our goal is to spotlight those commitments, as well as find a way to track how well these organizations were able to follow through on their promises.
On Wednesday, we are hosting our Town Hall Meeting on Racism, Tolerance and Reform. This special event is going to be the launching pad of a Sports Philanthropy Racism Task Force that will work in this space to create meaningful and lasting changes in the policing system and beyond.
All donations between now and July 31, 2020 will be earmarked towards programs under our Diversity, Equality and Inclusion initiative. We encourage you to give generously to allow us to work to make meaningful change and to support the many organizations that are doing terrific work in this space.
