Portland Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony is the latest NBA star to participate in the #AllInChallenge.
The 12-time All-Star is offering up a “Very Melo Weekend,” which includes a luxurious weekend in New York, a private hoops lesson with Anthony, and dinner with Anthony and friends, among other items.
“The reason why I want to help in this crisis is because millions of people have lost their jobs. This is a worldwide crisis and we're all in this together. We all are affected in some way or another. With that being said, I'm auctioning off a ‘Very Melo Weekend', which includes round-trip flights to New York City for two people, a luxury furnished apartment at the Sky Building in New York City for one weekend, a private basketball training session on my private designed basketball court at the Sky building, as well,” the Blazers forward announced.
“Oh, followed by dinner with the boys, I'm sure that'll be good. I'll also throw some signed memorabilia to take home with you…Stay safe, stay home, stay Melo.”
Aside from Carmelo Anthony, a host of celebrities and public figures have offered up unique auctions and sweepstakes as part of the #AllInChallenge. All the money raised will go towards non-profit groups that help provide food-related aide to those in need during the ongoing pandemic, including frontline health workers.
Beneficiaries include Meals on Wheels, No Kid Hungry, and America's Food Fund, which supports World Central Kitchen and Feeding America.
