Eli Manning joins pro athletes and celebrities for COVID-19 benefit auction
Football legend quarterback the New York Giants, Eli Manning, wants to give back to contribute to the fight against the coronavirus (COVID-19). Many professional athletes are contributing to a benefit auction for the ALL IN Challenge, a celebrity COVID-19 relief effort organizer by Philadelphia 76ers partner and Fanatics executive chairman, Michael Rubin.
Eli Manning announced he will be contributing to the relief effort by donating his MVP car awarded to him after winning Super Bowl XLVI, a 2012 Corvette Grand Sport Convertible Centennial Edition that only has a mileage of 5,830 miles. The starting bid for Manning’s MVP Corvette was $10,000 and is up to $80,000 with 8 days left on the auction block. Manning is also offering another experience to flip the coin as honorary NY Giants captain and dinner with Manning himself.
