In early January 2018, philanthropist Frederick Joseph created a GoFundMe drive to raise money for children of color at the Boys & Girls Club in Harlem to see Black Panther.[283] Joseph said the film was a "rare opportunity" for underserved children of color to see "a black major ... comic book character" brought to film.[281] Joseph promoted the drive with Boseman on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. The drive went on to raise over $45,000,[284] exceeding its goal,[283] with the money also funding other programs for children in Harlem.[284] Joseph also started the "Black Panther Challenge" where he encouraged other people to create similar drives for their communities.[283] GoFundMe made a centralized site for those wishing to start a drive for the challenge.[285] 400 additional drives were started around the world, and the overall drive became the largest GoFundMe in history for an entertainment event, raising over $400,000.[194] Many celebrities offered their support and contributions to the drives,[283] including Ellen DeGeneres, Snoop Dogg, Chelsea Clinton, J. J. Abrams,[284] Octavia Spencer,[286] and British actress Jade Anouka.[284]
