TribLIVE is partnering with video-hosting platform SendtoNews to bring readers a live stream of the NFL’s three-day virtual fundraiser that will benefit six charities — selected by the NFL Foundation — that are battling the spread of covid-19. Friday marks the second night of the festivities.
Draft-A-Thon will pay tribute to healthcare workers, first responders, and others on the front lines of the battle with the coronavirus. To date, the NFL family has raised more than $50 million in covid-19 relief.
Hosted by the NFL Network’s Rich Eisen and Deion Sanders, the Draft-A-Thon will feature a wide variety of athletes, celebrities, and personalities, including actor and comedian Kevin Hart, music artists Quavo and Kane Brown, football player Toni Harris, gaming icon Ninja, NFL stars Tyrann Mathieu, Devin McCourty, Torrey Smith, Rod Woodson and many others.
Donations can be made at NFL.com/RELIEF.
Funds will help support six national nonprofits and their respective relief efforts, including the American Red Cross, the CDC Foundation, Feeding America, Meals on Wheels, the Salvation Army and the United Way.
