Back in mid-April, 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 COVID-19 pandemic.
Almost instantly, several current and former members of the New York Giants joined the challenge, including retired quarterback Eli Manning, who had been nominated by his brother, Peyton Manning.
Update: Eli Manning has accepted Peyton's #ALLINCHALLENGE and is offering a chance to own the convertible he took home after winning his Super Bowl XLVI MVP.

Manning went huge with his offering, putting his Super Bowl XLVI MVP Corvette up for bid. And as part of the package, Eli promised that he would personally drive the car to the winning bidder.
Earlier this week, it came time for Manning to do just that.
The 2011 Corvette Grand Sport Convertible was won for an impressive $140,000 with proceeds going to help organizations such as Meals on Wheels, World Central Kitchen, America’s Food Fund, No Kid Hungry, and Feeding America.
The vehicle was ultimately destined for Denver where the winner, Dave, also had Manning sign the interior of his brand new ride.
Bittersweet to turn over my Corvette, but I had a great time fulfilling my #ALLinChallenge donation – and I know it’s in good hands. Big thanks to @michaelrubin @fanatics for raising $60M to feed those in need pic.twitter.com/0LQOnFv2tU

In total, the All In Challenge has raised more than $60 million for families in need.
