MALCOLM JENKINS MAKES HISTORY WITH CONTEMPORARY ART AUCTION AT PHILLIPS, RAISING OVER $100,000 FOR UNDERSERVED YOUTH The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation celebrates 15 years of impact with a groundbreaking philanthropic collaboration during Phillips’ Day Sale of Modern & Contemporary Art Phillips’ Co-Head of Day Sale of Modern & Contemporary Art, artist Dominic Chambers, and Malcolm Jenkins lead a panel discussion at Phillips’ Park Avenue galleries NEW YORK — 22 MAY 2025 — Two-time Super Bowl Champion, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Malcolm Jenkins made history last week as the first professional athlete to partner with Phillips for a contemporary art auction.

Held on 14 May as part of Phillips’ Day Sale of Modern & Contemporary Art, the Game of Art auction raised over $100,000 in support of The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation’s mission to empower underserved youth through education, mentorship, and opportunity. This groundbreaking partnership placed Malcolm Jenkins’ cultural lens and philanthropic mission at the center of an artist-driven auction — highlighting the power of art to create access, equity, and long-term community impact.

The auction followed a dynamic preview event on 9 May that welcomed nearly 500 guests to Phillips’ Park Avenue galleries. The evening featured a compelling conversation moderated by NFL legend Brandon Marshall between Jenkins, artist Dominic Chambers, and Phillips’ Patrizia Koenig, Co-Head of Day Sale of Modern & Contemporary Art. Together, they explored the intersection of legacy, ownership, and the power of Black artistry to transform both markets and minds. “This wasn’t just a fundraiser—it was a statement.

We brought together culture, creativity, and community to show what’s possible when Black artists are centered and celebrated,” said Jenkins, Founder and Chairman of The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation . “The fact that over $100,000 was raised through art, not charity, is proof that we don’t just need new models — we can build them.” Please see PDF for full press release.
