Michael Rubin may be the closest thing Philly has to a fairy godfather.
When the Fanatics founder announced on March 26 that his production facilities would start producing face masks and protective gowns, we cheered.
Little did we know that was just his warmup.
On April 14th, Rubin launched the All-In Challenge, rallying every A-list celeb known to humanity to offer a top-shelf experience (Dinner with Tom Brady! An at-home serenade from Justin Bieber!) to be auctioned or raffled off.
Within its first two weeks, the initiative raised more than $20 million (and counting) to benefit No Kid Hungry, Feeding America, Meals on Wheels, America’s Food Fund, and World Central Kitchen. As a city, we couldn’t be prouder of our homegrown hero.
But Rubin’s not the only business baller in our midst: All around us, companies large and small are doing their part to get us through the pandemic. Here, some recent standouts.
