Roc Nation & NFL To Donate $400,000 To Chicago Charities

According to Variety, Roc Nation and the NFL will donate $400,000 to two Chicago charities, the Better Boys Foundation Family Services organization and the Crusher’s Club. Both organizations are designed to present local at-risk youth with alternatives to gang violence and criminal activity; the donations are being handled through the Inspire Change program.

The donation is pegged to a free concert taking place on Thursday in the city’s Grant Park that will feature  Meek Mill, Meghan Trainor and Rapsody; it is the first in the “Songs of the Season” concert series that was announced last month at a press conference held by Jay-Z and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announcing the partnership. The three performers, along with Chicago rapper Vic Mensa, will visit the programs this week.

The source said that this event will be the first in a planned Inspire Change series that will make similar donations in each NFL city. Songs of the Season is a season-long initiative in which selected musicians will create and deliver a song to be integrated in all NFL promotions each month. The songs will debut during an in-game broadcast and will be simultaneously released to all digital streaming platforms worldwide. All proceeds from the songs will go toward Inspire Change.
