Chris Brown and Jhené Aiko are the latest artists to support Colin Kaepernick’s “10 for 10” initiative. The athlete-turned-activist’s million-dollar pledge encourages other celebrities to match his $10,000 donations to various charities.
Following contributions from Snoop Dogg, T.I., Serena Williams, actor Jesse Williams, and NBA stars Kevin Durant and Steph Curry, Breezy and Penny both donated $10,000 apiece for School on Wheels in Los Angeles.
Aiko kicked this off with her donation. “I’m super excited to join the 10 for 10,” she said in a video. “Colin’s work throughout the years has really inspired me to be involved and give back. I hope everyone watching is inspired to do the same. Thank you Colin, for being a great example.”
I was honored when @jheneaiko wanted to be part of my #10for10 & chose School on Wheels in LA to receive $20k! I appreciate you, Jhene! Thanks for helping to build better communities for less fortunate. Head to https://t.co/aK6dKa5Boa to see my #MillionDollarPledge! pic.twitter.com/R2oWUznR6X

Shortly after this, Kap revealed that Breezy reached out. “When @chrisbrown heard about my #MillionDollarPledge – he called & said he wanted to donate $10k to @SchoolsOnWheels too,” Kap tweeted. “Thank you, Chris, for donating to our community. When we all work together, there is no limit to what we can accomplish! … Now we can donate $30k to them to continue to help the over 2.5 million homeless children in the US!”
This is all part of Kap’s million-dollar pledge and it isn’t over. He still has $30,000 to donate to different causes. Other celebrities are expected to join him in giving back.
