The couple announced that they would be giving back to the community by donating $50,000 to the Greater Cleveland Food Bank. In the video, Emily said:

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by the [...] crisis. What makes our country so great is how we come together in a time of crisis.”

Emily added that Cleveland has always been the underdog, but its people are known for their hustle and grit. She said it was time for people to come together and help one another. Baker also said that they had reached the point where they wanted to give back and help out any way they can.

Baker and his wife are not the only Cleveland sports celebrities to donate to this good cause. Cleveland Cavaliers’ basketball player Kevin Love donated $100,000 to the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse employees to help pay their wages during the NBA suspension.

Many NFL players have also donated towards efforts in relieving challenges during the coronavirus pandemic. Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes, donated 15,000 meals and $100,00 to Kansas City Relief and Tyreek Hill also donated 6,000 meals to people of Kansas affected by the pandemic.

Many communities can heave a sigh of relief thanks to these athletes and other celebrities, who, just like Baker and Emily, have taken it upon themselves to do whatever they can to lighten the load on less fortunate people during these trying times.
