As part of his commitment, Rubio recently launched a PLEDGE IT campaign inviting fans to donate a specific amount of money for every assist he makes this season with the goal of raising $150,000. Both Rubio and corporate partners are matching gifts made by fans. The first $20,000 in donations will be matched by Layton Construction Company. The campaign works as follows:

To pledge or donate, fans can go to https://pledgeit.org/ricky-5forthefight.

Rubio recently stated, "When I found out the Utah Jazz had a partnership with 5 For The Fight, I think it was a sign from up in heaven that I was sent to be here in Utah. The last thing my mom asked me to do was to help make it easier for people going through cancer."

"We are so grateful to have Ricky Rubio as a 5 For The Fight Ambassador. He is an incredible person and a great champion for the cause to eradicate cancer," said Ryan Smith, co-founder and CEO of Qualtrics. "Cancer has touched everyone and we're committed to fighting this disease. We invite everyone to donate $5 to the fight at 5ForTheFight.org."

5 For The Fight is the campaign to raise $50M for cancer research. The campaign was started in 2016 by Qualtrics, the leader in experience management. In 2017, Qualtrics announced that it would be sponsoring the patch on the jersey of the NBA's Utah Jazz. Instead of putting the Qualtrics logo on the patch, however, it donated the first year of the patch to 5 For The Fight. To learn more, please visit 5ForTheFight.org.
