July 10,
2020 Leading up to the highly anticipated FIGHT FOR THE FALLEN event this
Wednesday, July 15, AEW today announced two charity-driven initiatives to help
support northeast Floridas response to COVID-19.
Funds
from both AEW programs will be distributed to Floridas First Coast Relief
Fund and Feeding Northeast Florida, both of which will provide a range of health
and well-being services for those struggling during this time. The two organizations
are 501(c)(3) not for profits. In the spirit of FIGHT FOR THE FALLEN, which
raised money for the Jacksonville-based Victims Assistance Advisory Council last
year, AEW is appealing to fans to donate what they can to Floridas First
Coast Relief Fund and Feeding Northeast Florida at www.AEWFightfortheFallen.com.
As
part of the overall effort, AEW has designed a limited-edition shirt depicting
powerful FIGHT FOR THE FALLEN imagery with a COVID-19 protective face mask at
the center of the artwork. One- hundred percent of the proceeds from sales of
the shirt, which is available at www.ShopAEW.com, will also go to Floridas
First Coast Relief Fund and Feeding Northeast Florida.
In
March, the Khan family donated $1 million to various organizations to support
northeast Floridas response to COVID-19.
The
efforts of the First Coast Relief Fund and Feeding Northeast Florida over the
past four months have been truly amazing, but unfortunately the battle against
this pandemic continues and that means their work is far from over, said
Tony Khan, President and CEO of All Elite Wrestling. On behalf of everyone
at AEW, and our fans, I thank both groups for their commitment to our home community
of Jacksonville and North Florida and hope we can all come together to do what
we can to support their mission.
