$50k challenge 
If I talk it, I walk it! I’m giving 50k to this urgent need that “Chicago Delivers” is fulfilling. Now I don’t post for pats on the back, compliments or notoriety but I do want to challenge my peers in these unprecedented times with a 50k giving challenge! We’ve been blessed beyond measure and the time is now to bless others!

There is a large disparity in the mortality rate of black and brown people who contract COVID-19 nation wide but more specifically here in Chicago’s south and west side. The reason is because people on government assistance (food stamps/EBT) can’t order their groceries through delivery services to their homes and therefore have to go to the stores where there’s heavy foot traffic and put themselves at a higher risk of contracting the virus. Also families are at an even higher risk if they live in a (food desert) area because they’ll have to take public transportation just to get to the grocery store. “Chicago Delivers” has a solution to this urgent issue. Through donations they will provide those on Gov. assistance or 60 and older with an Instacart gift card so their groceries can be delivered or have volunteers purchase and deliver the groceries to homes. Essentially flattening the curve, saving lives and keeping families safe in their homes. In this time of quarantine we’ve seen just about every social media challenge... I want to challenge everyone to give, but especially all my fellow prof. Athletes both current and former, to give to hurting communities to help provide one of life’s most basic needs FOOD! #50kchallenge #Give
