Detroit-based StockX — the world’s first and only “Stock Market of Things” — announced it’s joining forces with the Wu-Tang Clan’s Wu-Tang Foundation for a charity initiative dubbed C.R.E.A.M. (Charity Rules Everyone Around Me). Tuesday’s (March 13) announcement comes as part of the launch of the company’s new StockX Charity IPOs, aimed at partnering with the world’s biggest celebrities for the world’s most important causes.
“With the launch of Charity IPOs, we can turn one-of-a-kind and highly sought after celebrity products into real dollars that directly help those in need,” StockX CEO and co-founder Josh Luber says.
The Wu-Tang Foundation’s mission is to utilize the Wu-Tang brand drive awareness and raise funds for various social initiatives. The foundation believes StockX can help in doing so.
“Our foundation helps those who are in communities with racial disparities,” Co-Director Tareef Michael sats. “Communities plagued by violence, the lack of proper education, unemployment and more. We are certain that with StockX we will continue to supply support to those in need with the money we raise.”
