But all athlete’s money doesn’t always go to extravagance and excess. Some professional athletes find it important to give back to causes that mean something to them. Maybe it’s schools, or disease, or hunger. Some athletes just love to give back to those less fortunate.

In this time of global crisis, athletes such as Zion Williamson, and Kevin Love have given their own money to help support the people in their industry.

“Athletes for COVID-19 Relief” is a fund that has started where athletes have donated memorabilia to auction off to help those affected by the global pandemic gripping our world. The Olympic gold medal winning swimmer, Nathan Adrian donated one of his racing suits. Women’s World Cup winner Rose Lavelle has donated a signed jersey.
You can go to AthletesRelief.org for more information.
