PHILADELPHIA (WTXF) - Two big names are teaming up to help children in Philadelphia.

Meek Mill says he will match Colin Kaepernick's donation of $10,000 to benefit Youth Service Inc. out of Philadelphia.

Kaepernick's original donation is part of a pledge to donate $1 million to various non-profits throughout the country, donating $100,000 each month for 10 months.

Meek Mill is currently serving a two- to four-year sentence for violating probation.
