While he continues to receive his salary despite the confinement, baseball player Justin Verlander has decided to donate everything to associations. He and his wife Kate Upton announced the move together in a video posted on Instagram.
"We are going to choose an organization that is doing a great job right now and give them the paycheck for the whole week," said the model. We will also highlight the organization we have chosen so that everyone can see the extraordinary work it is doing at the moment. "

Recently the @mlb announced they will be continuing to send paychecks to players while the season is suspended. @kateupton and I have decided to donate those funds to a different organization each week so that we can support their efforts and highlight the great work they're doing during the COVID-19 crisis. Everyone around the world is affected by this virus, and we hope to contribute to the families and jobs affected, the healthcare workers and first responders on the front lines and the many others in need of basic necessities, medical supplies and support at home. As soon as the first paycheck is received we will be highlighting the first organization. We know everyone is impacted by this crisis, but for those who are able, we encourage you to stay home to help flatten the curve and look to those around you who need a helping hand. # covid19 #flattenthecurve

It's been such an incredible decade! Meeting my best friend, getting married and starting a family has been the most amazing gift ever !!! Nothing tops that. ❤️On the field ... winning a championship, throwing a couple no hitters and winning a few awards along the way has been an incredible journey. The friendships that have grown or began this past decade will continue on for decades to come. Truly blessed 🙏🏻🙏🏻. Now bring on the next decade !! My daughter will be 11 when it's over. Can't wait to see what it holds for us all. Everyone be safe and have a wonderful New Years!
