Athletes across the sports world are pitching in to help arena workers and communities impacted by the various postponements and cancellations as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. Here are some of the most inspiring examples.

Henry and Susan Samueli, who own the Anaheim Ducks, have reportedly pledged to continue paying full- and part-time employees who were scheduled to work at Honda Center through March 31.

“The ushers, ticket takers, concession workers, cleaning staff and other arena workers are the backbone of a Penguins hockey game at PPG Paints Arena, and a big part of the Penguins’ family,” said team president and CEO David Morehouse in a statement. “Our owners, Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle, and our players, led by Sidney Crosby, thought it was essential to help them through this. We have come together to ensure that they will not lose pay because of the pause in our season.

“CSE has committed to a program that will help any part-time employee who requires support,” Trent Carroll, the company’s chief operating officer, said on Friday. “The program will be based on individual need, to avoid financial hardship during this unexpected employment disruption.”
