Doug Baldwin, Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett announced the formation of Champions for Change, a philanthropic endeavor to fund grassroots non-profit organizations in the Seattle region. The trio of Super Bowl-winning athletes also announced a weekend of fundraising events, including a sports celebrity basketball game hosted at Climate Pledge Arena.

The former Seahawks said their goal is for the basketball game to become an annual event, celebrating Seattle athletes and their causes, but primarily to generate revenue for change-making non-profits in the Puget Sound region.
