NFL Draft To Include ‘Draft-A-Thon’ To Benefit Covid-19 Charities

The 2020 NFL Draft is slated to take place next week, despite all the odds, with league doing whatever it can to make sure that the event happens. Everybody involved will essentially be participating from their own living rooms, or basements, as they attempt to present some type of normality to the proceedings.

One thing that will be far from normal, in a positive sense, is that the three-day event will also serve as a fundraiser, dubbed a ‘Draft-A-Thon’, with the proceeds raised scheduled to be donated to select charities that are working to combat the Covid-19 pandemic that is currently ravaging the country and turning sports commentators into bloggers in their mom’s basements.
