More than 100 athletes, coaches and sports figures from more than 20 sports across the globe have donated memorabilia to help raise money for a COVID-19 response fund.

"Athletes for Relief" will raffle items among those who make a minimum $25 donation.

The items include signed jerseys by a number of athletes, including the Hawks' Trae Young, Oklahoma City's Chris Paul and Golden State's Stephen Curry.

Other items include signed Masters flags and hats by champions Nick Faldo and Jack Nicklaus; a signed $1 bill by Mavericks owner Mark Cuban; and a signed football by former Falcons tight end and Pro Football Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez.

The fundraiser ends May 1.

All of the proceeds go to the Center for Disaster Philanthropy’s COVID-19 Response Fund to help organizations such as Meals on Wheels, Feeding America and Healthcare Ready.
