PUMA and Usain Bolt Raise Over $6 Million Dollars for UNICEF

The fastest man in the world may have retired from track and field, but he’s been busier than ever as an ambassador for the Cat. His Puma backed World XI team took the field against British entertainer Robbie Williams’ UK squad. The lead up to the game saw both teams partaking in events in London and capping off the day with the big game in Old Trafford. The Soccer Aid event sponsored by Puma is the real star here.

But in the end, there was only one real winner anyway: Unicef raised record-breaking £5,540,259 for their vital work protecting children in danger around the world with the match.

At a time when England is facing a similar backlash, because of Brexit, to the US, the Puma backed event placed a humanitarian effort before product and policy to help UNICEF serve in protecting children around the world.

The world may have been focused on Puma’s relaunch of basketball in the NBA this past week, but if Puma is to really capture the hearts of the people it is this type of story that will drive the connection to the brand.

He’s making history (again) during the Rio Olympics, but Usain Bolt did something impressive years ago that is suddenly grabbing a wave of attention on the web.

The record-breaking running from Jamaica was in the midst of an interview with Television Espanola when he politely paused to pay respects during the United States’ National Anthem.

During the live interview, Bolt is track-side when he stands with his country’s flag around his neck and pauses during the Star Spangled Banner.

When the anthem wraps, he apologizes to the reporter and then answers the rest of her questions to finish the interview.

Thanks to Bolt’s continued success in Rio, he’s won three gold medals in the Men’s 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay, the clip resurfaced and went viral instantly.

Many fans are praising Bolt for his classy action to respect the US’ anthem.

“Not sure if I’ve seen an American athlete do this before,” read one comment. “You stay classy Bolt.”

“This is how a real champion behaves!” someone wrote. “Go Usain Bolt!”

We think it’s pretty awesome, too! Way to be a Good Celebrity!
