Indigo: Supporting communities with The Indigo Love of Reading Foundation Community Response Fund
The Indigo Love of Reading Foundation Community Response Fund launched this year with a $1-million commitment to supporting families in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Indigo Love of Reading Foundation believes that all Canadian children deserve access to books and the opportunity to fall in love of reading. During the Covid-19 pandemic, children across Canada are facing greater barriers to literacy than ever before, particularly when they lack access to books in the home. The Indigo Love of Reading Community Response Fund was launched to support children and families in need across Canada by filling that gap. The first phase of this funding focused on nonprofit agencies serving children during the national school closures. This second phase of this funding will continue to focus on families, by supporting Canadian elementary schools to build out home and blended learning programs for their students.
Under Armour: Supporting young athletes to compete responsibly during pandemic
"Coronavirus may have shut down competition for young athletes, but Under Armour wants to ensure they can still play.
That’s why this fall, the company is continuing to invest in young athletes and providing them with a performance mask – a training necessity in today’s pandemic environment that often runs a higher price than generic masks currently in the market and may be unattainable for many young athletes.
The company announced that, in partnership with pro athletes, it will donate more than 35,000 UA SPORTSMASKs to young athletes dealing with the effects of the pandemic in cities like Oakland, Nashville, Baltimore and others around the world. The UA SPORTSMASK, which launched earlier this summer, is the first to be designed for athletes to train in with innovative technology to keep them cool and comfortable while being active."
Fanatics: Aiming to raise $100 million with the “ALL IN Challenge”
After mobilizing Fanatics to produce protective gear for medical workers, he also launched the “ALL IN Challenge”, sponsored by the All In Challenge Foundation, to help eliminate food insecurity in North America.

“Together what we want to do is literally build the largest movement with all the best entertainers, celebrities, athletes, business titans, coming together to make a real impact on this issue,” said Rubin on Twitter.
There are more than a hundred prizes to be won, anyone can enter the challenge by donating as little as $10 as an entry to win one of these experiences.
