Fans can bid on items from Steph Curry, David Ortiz, Elena Delle Donne, Jimmie Johnson, Chris Paul, Simone Biles and more stars to raise money for coronavirus relief efforts.
Social media has changed the way that celebrities connect with fans, and many athletes have massive platforms at their disposal. Take Nathan Adrian, a five-time Olympic gold medalist in swimming who counts nearly 500,000 followers between his Instagram and Twitter accounts. Adrian posted his donation of a Speedo racing suit to the athletes fund on Thursday. The donation had a two-fold effect.
“About 10% of the items are ones where athletes saw posts in other people’s Twitter and Instagram feeds and asked to partake,” says longtime Octagon executive David Schwab. Schwab says the idea for the fund stemmed from watching athletes who gave money to local communities but who wanted to do something together as an additive program. In addition to mainstream U.S. sports, athletes from water polo, cricket and running donated items for auction. Non-athletes have pitched in as well.
