On Sept. 1, 2016, Colin Kaepernick announced that he would donate $1 million to charities that support racial equality.
On Wednesday morning, Kaepernick posted a video on Twitter to provide the following update:
"I'm wrapping up my million dollar pledge and I'm down to my final $100k. I'll be donating $10k a day for the next 10 days. I asked some of my friends what organizations I should donate to.
"First up -- easy-money sniper, Kevin Durant. KD chose De-Bug -- a Bay Area organization that advocates for criminal justice reform and police accountability. On top of that, KD said he would match my $10k donation for a total of $20,000 going to De-Bug.
"You can see how De-Bug will use our money to fight for social justice on kaepernick7.com.
"KD -- thank you so much brother for continuing to uplift and empower our communities. We love and appreciate you. Thank you again."
My brother Kevin Durant @KDTrey5 has generously decided to match my donation of $10,000, with $10,000 of his own, making the total donation to De-Bug $20,000!!! My brother Kevin, you are truly a champion on, and off the court. #MillionDollarPledge #10for10 https://t.co/aK6dKa5Boa pic.twitter.com/He41wgChCF— Colin Kaepernick (@Kaepernick7) January 17, 2018
