The 1916 Company Joins Super Bowl Champion Mitchell Schwartz to Support the ALL IN Challenge
VIP WEEKEND EXPERIENCE FOR EVERY FOOTBALL FAN, FOODIE, AND WATCH GUY OUT THERE, TO BE AUCTIONED FOR COVID-19 RELIEF EFFORTS
The 1916 Company is excited to go ALL IN with Super Bowl Champion Mitchell Schwartz of the Kansas City Chiefs as part of the ALL IN Challenge, with the ultimate weekend experience designed for the “football fan, foodie, and watch guy.”
Super Bowl Champ and All Pro Right Tackle Mitchell Schwartz’s three favorite things converge with an exclusive auction package: a first class trip for two to Arrowhead Stadium for a regular season Kansas City Chiefs’ game, complete with a post-game field tour. After the game, Mitch will change out of his cleats and into his apron, and the off-the-field food blogger and cooking show host will welcome the winner and guest into his home for a mouth-watering meal. You’ll dine with one of the best in the league and toast to a shared love of fine timepieces with friends from The 1916 Company, the global leader in pre-owned timepieces. And at the end of the night, you’ll take home one of the most elusive watches in the game – a Rolex Daytona 116500LN-0002.
The ALL IN Challenge was founded by Fanatics executive chairman and Philadelphia 76ers partner Michael Rubin with the goal of “uniting the sports, business, and entertainment communities to start the largest digital fundraising movement e
ver,” ultimately raising money for COVID-19 relief and to fight food insecurity. Athletes, entertainers, artists, and celebrities, from Tiger Woods to Justin Timberlake, have accepted the challenge, offering once-in-a-lifetime experiences by online auction and sweepstakes on www.allinchallenge.com. All funds raised will be donated to Meals on Wheels, No Kid Hungry and Americas Food Fund, which directly benefits World Central Kitchen and Feeding America; and over $40 million has been raised to date.
“As the COVID-19 crisis continues to impact the world, we are proud to go ALL IN with Mitch Schwartz, Michael Rubin, the Fanatics, and this incredible, philanthropic community, to fight the mounting issue of food insecurity,” shared Danny Govberg, Chairman of The 1916 Company and longtime friend of Michael Rubin. “In the spirit of going ALL IN, we nominate Georges Kern, CEO of Breitling; Audemars Piguet CEO, François-Henry Bennahmias; and the watch community at large, to go all in!”
“Being able to give back during these challenging times is an opportunity I don’t take for granted,” said Mitch Schwartz. “I play football for the Chiefs, but my off-field passions are important to me as well. With the help of my good friends at The 1916 Company, we’re able to combine those into one fun filled weekend, while benefitting a great cause. Playing football, showcasing my cooking skills, and talking watches is about as perfect of a weekend as I can imagine. Then the winner gets to go home with the ever-so-elusive Daytona; how awesome! I’m excited to put my talents and passions on display by going ALL IN.”
