Tax deductible
This campaign is apart of the #BlackPantherChallenge, a challenge started by Frederick Joseph in New York City that encourages people to help the youth in their community see this film for positive representation of colored people, you may read more about this challenge and its origins here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/01/10/entertainment/iyw-black-panther-gofundme-trnd/index.html
"Black Panther" features a superhero/ royalty member named T'Challa that is enriched with African culture, not only is he a hero but this character is also a scientist and strategist.

The profits will go to the Farmington Boys and Girls Club seeing as it is their youth development strategy to give these children competence, usefulness, power or influence, and most importantly, belonging by providing a setting in which, "an individual knows he or she has a place and where he or she 'fits' and is accepted."
