Trio of former Seahawks star launch new initiative to support local nonprofits

A trio of former Seattle Seahawks stars announced a new initiative this week, designed to raise funds and support for nonprofits across the region.

The brainchild of retired wide receiver Doug Baldwin and defensive linemen Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett, Champions for Change will operate as “a philanthropic endeavor to fund grassroots organizations.” This summer, that will take the form of a series of fundraising events between June 24 and June 26, which will include a celebrity basketball game at Climate Pledge Arena, which will feature current and former players from the Mariners, Sonics, Storm, Sounders, Reign, Huskies, and Cougars among others.
