On Tuesday, Fanatics founder Michael Rubin announced the “All In Challenge” — a virtual fundraising effort designed to raise millions of dollars to provide food for children, the elderly and frontline workers during the coronavirus pandemic.
Shortly after the challenge was announced, several current and former members of the New York Giants stepped up.
First up was retired Giants quarterback Eli Manning, who accepted the challenge from his brother, Peyton.
Eli, of course, went big. Huge even. He offered up a 2011 Chevrolet Corvette, which was given to him after winning the Super Bowl XLVI MVP Award. But Manning didn’t stop there, upping the ante by revealing that he will personally drive the car to the winning bidder.
Manning then proceeded to challenge the entire Giants organization to put together a package, and volunteered himself to be a part of it.
Running back Saquon Barkley was the next player to toss his hat into the ring.
Barkley is offering a dinner at Rao’s in New York City for the winner and three friends, a gameday experience in East Rutherford that includes field passes and box seats, and the opportunity to join him for a private workout. Oh yeah, and he’s covering all travel expenses.
Next up? Current Giants quarterback Daniel Jones.
On behalf of the Giants, Jones offered up a gameday package for four that includes club seats, field passes and honorary captain status during the pre-game coin toss. Additionally, the winner of this package also gets a separate dinner with Eli Manning the night prior to the game.
Jones closed by nominating Michael Strahan to join the All In Challenge.
