AEW donating $100,000 to Charlotte-based Safe Alliance
AEW announced on Monday that they will donate $100,000 to Safe Alliance, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing hope and healing for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors.
The donation will be made to the Charlotte, North Carolina-based organization Wednesday as AEW holds Fight for the Fallen at the Bojangles Coliseum.
AEW also announced that a percentage of proceeds from the sale of limited edition event t-shirts Wednesday will also be donated to Safe Alliance and are encouraging their fans to donate via a dedicated website.
The 2019 event raised money for victims of gun violence while the second iteration raised money for COVID-19 relief.
In the release, Tony Khan said, “Giving back to the community and helping make a difference in people’s lives is an ongoing goal for AEW, especially with our annual Fight for the Fallen event. We’re proud to share this donation with Safe Alliance, and through this initiative, we hope we can come together with fans to further Safe Alliance’s important mission.”
