NIL deals are a major change in college athletics and more times than not we hear stories about large sums of money paid to athletes to either play for a school or rep a brand. Rarely do we hear stories where athletes are partnering with companies to raise money for a worthy cause. Notre Dame QB CJ Carr's brother passed 8 years ago due to a cancerous brain tumor called DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma). The Napleton Family who owns Napleton's Mazda also lost their daughter Violet to pediatric brain cancer in 2022.

For every vehicle Napleton's Countryside Mazda sells in May, they will be donating a portion to the Violet Foundation which supports pediatric brain cancer research. CJ Carr's family also has a foundation called Chad Tough to support research for DIPG. To learn more about each organization and make a donation, please visit the links below:
