has made the largest single donation to the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, according to its president and executive director.
When the SAG-AFTRA strike first became official, SAG-AFTRA Foundation president Courtney B. Vance and executive director Cyd Wilson sent a letter to 2,700 of the union’s highest-earning actors, explaining why donations to the Foundation could prove extremely beneficial to those in need. According to the pair, Dwayne Johnson stepped up almost immediately.
. “This is him saying, ‘In such a time as this, I’m here and I’m not going anywhere, whatever you need me to do.’ And that sends a huge message to other folks to do the same thing.”While Vance did not want to share the exact amount of Johnson’s donation, Wilson said that it was “the largest single donation” that the Foundation has ever received.
Wilson likened the donation and charity to how the Foundation operated during the COVID-19 pandemic, and said that even with Johnson’s donation, there will be more work to be done, as the group could see the strike going “on through the end of the year.”
