Astros ace Justin Verlander and Kate Upton announced on Instagram that they will be donating each of Verlander’s paychecks to charity for the duration of the coronavirus pandemic. Verlander and Upton said that they will be picking a different charity for each check, and that they will be promoting the charities’ work.

Obviously this is a really cool gesture from Verlander and Upton, who have more than enough money to take this sort of action. It’s also nice that they’ve decided to keep donating as the crisis goes on rather than set aside one lump sum, as there’s no telling how long we’ll be dealing with COVID-19. Continued funding will be critical.
If you want to learn more about COVID-19, give the CDC’s site about the virus a read. Informing yourself is the most important step.
