LOS ANGELES, May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Three sports legends of varied athletic disciplines - Chicago Bulls superstar DeMar DeRozan, NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Olympic ski racing champion Bode Miller - are joining award-winning filmmaker Brett Rapkin ("The Weight of Gold") and Podium Pictures to create a series of six documentary projects focused on breaking the stigma of mental health through the power of athletes and storytelling.
Key Points:
- Podium Pictures will be distributing these documentaries around the world on a free platform as a mental health resource, rather than limiting access behind a paywall.
- Key to this fundraising strategy is their partnership with Donatestock.com where donors have the option to gift appreciated assets for significant tax advantages.
- In honor of Mental Health Awareness month, Podium and Donatestock are matching $1 million in donations to Podium Society, for all gifts including stock, cash, and crypto.
- The new projects will continue the conversation started by "The Weight of Gold," which was released by HBO in 2020.
