Why Muhammad Ali’s impact on Sports is still being felt today

9/3/2020

The year was 1964, when a then 22-year old Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr ascended to the top of the world of sports when he defeated a heavily favored veteran Sonny Liston to become heavyweight champion of the globe. The Louisville, Ky native would not convey the image of the conventional traditional Black athlete from the outset. His extreme confidence and brashness was not the composite package that America, if not the entire free world had witnessed from such a platform before him. Reprint by Lenny Moon.

George Foreman's Brother Aims to Knock Out COVID-19 With Charity Shirt

8/27/2020

A percentage of sales will be donated to First Responders Children's Foundation
NEW YORK - August 26, 2020 - (Newswire.com)
Roy Foreman, famed boxing manager of legendary great, George Foreman, is fighting COVID-19 with a punch of his own. This time he aims to knock out the disease with a powerful uppercut by designing a KO COVID t-shirt in collaboration with Skrapper Brands and donating 20% of sales to First Responders Children’s Foundation.

Foreman and famed artist William Quigley, Founder of Skrapper, have teamed up to design this limited edition KO COVID t-shirt, with the first 100 orders signed via livestream by Mr. Quigley.

“COVID-19 has devastated friends of mine throughout the country. I have lost members of my community to the coronavirus," says Roy Foreman. “This limited edition KO COVID t-shirt was designed to unite and raise money for our first responder heroes.”

Roy Foreman, a leading voice in the boxing world, managed his brother George Foreman through his championship years, served on the U.S. Olympic boxing committee and was a ringside announcer for HBO Sports.

"First Responders Children's Foundation would like to thank Roy Foreman, William Quigley and Skrapper Brands for their efforts to help knock out COVID-19,” said Jillian Crane, President of First Responders Children's Foundation. "There's no doubt that first responders on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic are sacrificing so much to protect our families, and it's our responsibility as a nation to help them through this crisis by providing financial hardship grants, PPE, scholarships and partnerships.”

Since March of this year, First Responders Children’s Foundation has given financial hardship grants to 9,000 first responders, supplied over 650,000 face masks, and paid for 13,000 hotel rooms with meal stipends to keep first responders and their families safe.

The limited edition shirts can be purchased at skrapper.co
