Overview
- Sophie Cunningham posted a GoFundMe on Oct. 2 that she initially framed as covering WNBA fines before clarifying it was a joke.
- She told followers on X that the $10 million target was tongue-in-cheek and later set the page’s goal to $26,000.
- An update on the fundraiser states all proceeds will go to Ronald McDonald House Charities, and she said she will handle her own fines.
- Donations still rolled in, including a $1,000 gift, with the total topping $3,000 by Thursday night.
- The stunt follows multiple fines for criticizing officiating and an on-court altercation, and she again said league leadership must be held accountable in a postgame interview.
