What a week it has been for Clippers owner, Steve Ballmer.
A week ago, it was announced that his group “Ballmer Group” was donating $1 million to community groups in Los Angeles with the hope to ease the ripple effect of the coronavirus. Then, earlier this week, he purchased The Forum for $400 million.
Now, he’s donating even more money towards the coronavirus crisis currently happening in our country... $25 MILLION DOLLARS!
Steve + Connie Ballmer, through the Ballmer Group, have pledged more than $25M to help Seattle, SE Michigan, LA w/ COVID-19 crisis. That includes $10M to Univ. of Washington Medicine’s Emergency Response Fund to speed up testing for COVID-19 vaccine, according to Ballmer Group.

Ballmer’s generosity continues to be a shining light through these difficult times. I wouldn’t be surprised if this isn’t the last donation he makes either.
This story will be updated as more information comes out.
