The car that Eli Manning won after being named Super Bowl XLVI MVP is now up for a charity auction to benefit coronavirus relief.

Proceeds from the auction of Manning's Corvette, which is currently going for over $130,000, will go towards the ALL IN Challenge. 

The ALL IN Challenge, started by Fanatics founder and part owner of the Philadelphia 76ers Michael Rubin, donates all money to food-based nonprofits such as Meals on Wheels and No Kid Hungry to help those struggling due to the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States. 

"Anything that's going to go out and help those who are on the front line of this pandemic and help the elderly and kids and people that need food, I'm all in for that," Manning said on Twitter. "Maybe I'll actually teach you how to handle this bad boy." 

Manning will actually be hand-delivering the car to whoever the winner of the charity is, agreeing to hang out and take the winner and some friends to lunch. 

Eli would go on to challenge the entire Giants organization to do their own version of the ALL IN Challenge, to which quarterback Daniel Jones and running back Saquon Barkley have subsequently put out their own charity auctions in support of those struggling with the pandemic. 

Cooper and Peyton Manning also threw their names in the hat, with Peyton offering up a round of golf and dinner in the winner's hometown. That auction is now sitting at $500,000, also with proceeds going to food-driven charities.

Cooper laughed that he'll come hang out in the winner's house for a month. Clearly just joking around, Cooper said "Whatever you want to do, I'll just hang out. I won't even bring my own clothes, it's just whatever you want to do."

It's not easy for anyone right now, especially those out of work. Seeing these celebrities at least making fruitful contributions and attempts to lighten the mood is a quiet relief.
