Nneka Ogwumike will take the reins of LeBron James’s voting nonprofit ahead of this year’s election, with a focus on women’s and reproductive rights. James founded More Than a Vote in 2020 amid the anti-racist protests and uprisings after George Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis police officer. For the 2020 election, the athlete- and artist-led group primarily focused on voting access for Black Americans. It worked with the NAACP to get more poll workers, ran ads on TV and online, worked with sports venues to become polling locations, and raised roughly $4.2 million, according to The New York Times. The group’s work has largely halted since then, but it is finding new life ahead of the 2024 election.

Musician Drake reportedly helped to raise €40 million ($43.7 millIon) to help save Italian soccer club Venezia from bankruptcy. "I got a call from Brad Katsuyama, co-owner of Venezia and a good friend of mine. He explained the problem to me in a simple way: Venezia has to raise €10 million in a couple of weeks, and then at least €30 million in a few months, or the club will go bankrupt," Drake's chief brand officer and a part of his management team, Matte Babel, told the Italian edition of GQ (h/t Francesco Porzio of CBS Sports). "Venezia is an incredible city, and Venezia has always been a special club. I spoke to Drake, then Brad, and I discussed the details of how we could help. Within two weeks, we had a deal, and raised the money needed to pay salaries and avoid bankruptcy."

Instead, they spend every second of the preceding year (maybe even longer) fixated on what they'll do when the flurry of roster-remaking transactions starts. They leverage their scouting and analytical resources, game out scenarios and search for every inch of negotiating leverage.
