The good news surrounding the blockbuster film Black Panther keeps coming.
As the movie continues to makes hundreds of millions at the box office, Disney announced on Monday that it is giving $1 million to the Boys and Girls Club of America, who plan use the funds to build a center in Oakland dedicated to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).
Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger said in a press release that the donation is the company “showing appreciation” for the film’s success.
“It is thrilling to see how inspired young audiences were by the spectacular technology in the film, so it’s fitting that we show our appreciation by helping advance STEM programs for youth, especially in underserved areas of the country, to give them the knowledge and tools to build the future they want,” Iger said.
