Crypto.com, always looking for ways to spend its digital gold, has decided to donate a cool $1 million to After-School All-Stars. Their goal? To expand educational and summer programs for kids across the U.S. We guess they figured it was time to give something back, or at least something more than a bad tip in Bitcoin.
On March 2, 2026, in a glitzy on-ice ceremony at the Crypto.com Arena (because naming rights are a thing now), the announcement was made during a game between the LA Kings and the Colorado Avalanche. Sure, because nothing says “we care about your education” like an ice hockey game. Joining the festivities were After-School All-Stars founder Arnold Schwarzenegger, because apparently he does more than just lifting things, and Luc Robitaille, President of the LA Kings-two people who, in their own ways, know how to throw a decent charity event.
The million-dollar windfall supports a national network that touches nearly 150,000 students annually across 18 chapters and 80 cities. Yes, 150,000. That’s a lot of students to “reach,” but hey, when you’re Crypto.com, you’ve got the coin to do it. These funds will cover after-school services and summer camps, which, let’s face it, are better than just shoving kids in front of a TV for hours. The idea is to strengthen their academic and leadership skills, which should come in handy when they inevitably start investing in crypto themselves.
“I founded After-School All-Stars because every kid deserves a real chance to succeed, no excuses,” said Arnold Schwarzenegger, probably while flexing in front of a mirror. “When you give students mentorship and opportunity, they rise to the challenge. I believe in results. With partners like Crypto.com stepping up, we can reach more students, open more doors, and build stronger communities across America.” Yes, Arnold, we all want stronger communities, but no one’s going to argue with a guy who has a history of making things… well, big.
🧭 FAQs
• Who are the primary partners involved in this million-dollar donation? Well, Crypto.com partnered with the LA Kings and the Kings Care Foundation. It’s like a love triangle of philanthropy.
• How many students does After-School All-Stars serve on an annual basis? A modest 150,000 students. You know, just a small group-like a sold-out concert but for homework help and hockey fans.
• Where did the official donation ceremony take place? At the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, naturally, because it’s only appropriate to announce educational initiatives while someone gets body-checked into the boards.
• What specific youth services will this new funding support nationwide? The donation will support free after-school and summer programs in 80 cities. So if you’re near one of those, maybe start making your kids wear their best “I support after-school programming” T-shirt now. It’s going to be a big deal.
