Play Your Part for Ukraine
Donation protected
Join me in supporting the millions of innocent people impacted by the unfolding crisis in Ukraine by donating to fund nonprofit relief efforts on the ground.
As a manager and former professional player, I know firsthand the power of a group uniting together. There is strength when a team, country, or even the world unite to support you. While we watch the Ukraine humanitarian crisis unfold, it can be hard to know where or how to help but I hope you will join me and #PlayYourPart to support the people of Ukraine.
This fundraiser will support five non-profit organizations working to distribute relief right away. With over 3 million refugees so far, there is an immediate need for food, medical care, shelter, and other basic needs. The organizations chosen will focus on delivering this desperately needed support now.
By working together, we can provide practical help to those who need it most. So I ask you with all my heart to play your part and give what you can. No matter how big or small, we all have our part to play, so please take action now and join me to Play Your Part.

- UNHCR (EIN 52-1662800) UNHCR is leading and coordinating the humanitarian response to help refugees in Ukraine, with teams working at the border in Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, Moldova and Belarus.
