Ross Danis admits he teared up when he learned Meck Ed was getting a check for $1,000 from the Carolina Panthers.

“I could just cry. When you run a nonprofit and you get a call like that, especially these days, it really did bring a tear to my eye,” Danis says.

Meck Ed works with high school seniors at some of Charlotte’s most challenged high schools getting them college and career ready. 

This Charlotte nonprofit was one of more than 30 regional organizations that got the unexpected phone call from the Panthers - all thanks to a celebration of the NFL’s 100th anniversary season last year.

SHARE Charlotte is incredibly grateful for official partner of DO GOOD Week: Home Edition, Allstate, and was overwhelmed by their unwavering support and ability to embrace all of the necessary changes that were made to this year’s local celebration of National Volunteer Week in response to the current pandemic.  

When it comes to responding in the face of crisis, Allstate is no stranger. In fact, they’ve been protecting people for almost 90 years. And now, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, they are working to keep their customers, employees, agencies and communities safe and healthy as we all change our routines to slow the spread of COVID-19. Recognizing that businesses must step up to help those in need, Allstate and The Allstate Foundation are committed to supporting our communities and nonprofit partners. 

DO GOOD Week: Home Edition would not be possible without the generosity of our partners. We are so grateful for Duke Energy, presenting partner of DO GOOD Week for the fourth consecutive year, for not only powering this year’s celebration, but embracing the necessary changes we have made to help us best serve the Charlotte nonprofit community’s needs during these unprecedented times.

In the midst of COVID-19, volunteers continue giving their heart, soul and financial support to nonprofits in and around Charlotte. Just not their hands.
