Using his platform to help those in need, Colin Kaepernick completed his pledge to donate $1 million to charities across the nation whose purpose is to serve oppressed communities.
To complete the final $100,000 of his mission, Kaepernick launched the #10for10 campaign. He made 10 donations of $10,000 to 10 different charities with 10 celebrities matching him with at least $10,000.

For the last day of #10for10, Kaepernick completed his pledge by donating $10,000 to H.O.M.E (Helping Oppressed Mothers Endure) charity in Lithonia, Ga. The donation was matched by recording artist Usher.
"You have raised $1 million. I'm happy to be a part of the completion of that $1 million," Usher said. "Everyone that has done something around this is amazing. This is a collaborative effort. As a result of us helping each other, we all become stronger."
Along with his $1 million pledge, Kaepernick has stated he will donate his jersey sales from 2016 to charities.
