Cliff Avril and The Cliff Avril Family Foundation donated over $50,000 Friday to four different local community-based organizations providing resources to people impacted by COVID-19.
“We have never experienced a crisis of this magnitude; and it’s times like this, organizations such as ours, are expected to answer the call,” Avril said. “I am pleased to announce that The Cliff Avril Family Foundation will be donating $25,000, and I will personally be donating $25,000 to support four Seattle-based organizations that are at the front line of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
The Super Bowl champion identified four Seattle-based organizations making a huge impact in the community and donated to their cause.
- Communities In Schools of Renton-Tukwila: Received $10,000 to provide resources for communities disproportionately affected by the outbreak
- HealthPoint: Received $5,000 to purchase temporal thermometers for each testing site, outdoor tables and additional personal protection equipment (PPE), to insure drive-up testing tents are ready to meet patient needs.
- Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic: Received $15,000 to support families with food, finanes, hygiene and general needs.
Avril established the Cliff Avril Family Foundation in March 2014 to support the educational and health needs of youth locally and abroad.
