The Tamir Rice Foundation received a large donation recently, and it's all thanks to Kyrie Irving.

The foundation was created by his mother, Samaria Rice, which was made to "invest in the growth and enrichment of all children through after-school programs in arts and culture by allowing them to express their truth to improve their lives as they grow into young adults."

Samaria created a GoFundMe to celebrate her son's 23rd birthday.

"As our family approach Tamir's 23rd birthday, I'm asking for 23 dollars for 23 years without him," she wrote.

A social media post was made by Kiandria Demone, a viral entrepreneur and web developer, to call for donations and support.

Demone shared an update on Wednesday, expressing gratitude after seeing Irvin's donation of $50,000.

"OMG! When I saw the fundraiser this morning, it was at $1,500 with a goal of $6K," she wrote on Threads.

"In less than an hour, we got it to $9K just by showing up. Then… Kyrie Irving saw the post. 🤯 Now she’s raised 10x her goal!"
