On March 2, 2026, Crypto.com announced a $1 million donation to After-School All-Stars during an on-ice ceremony at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The event took place during a game between the LA Kings and the Colorado Avalanche and featured After-School All-Stars founder Arnold Schwarzenegger and LA Kings President Luc Robitaille.
The funding supports a national network that reaches nearly 150,000 students annually across 18 chapters and 80 cities. These resources provide free comprehensive after-school services and summer camps to strengthen academic achievement and leadership development in local communities.
“I founded After-School All-Stars because every kid deserves a real chance to succeed, no excuses,” said Arnold Schwarzenegger. “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.”
