LATE WRESTLER’S WIFE AND BROTHER START NON-PROFIT

Jon Huber Legacy Foundation will honor late wrestler’s dedication to family and career
ROCHESTER, NY, September 29 – On the same day All Elite Wrestling (AEW) makes its
debut in Jon Huber’s hometown of Rochester, NY, his family and friends are announcing the
creation of the Jon Huber Legacy Foundation.

The Foundation will focus on providing support to people in creative fields who have not taken
the next step in their career because of family obligations.

“Jon almost gave up on his dream of wrestling because of his family,” said Amanda Huber, “But
he got the call to move up to WWE while we were in the hospital with our first child. I can’t
think of a better way of honoring his commitment to family and his career than to help other
people who are facing the same dilemma.”

Beginning in 2022, the Foundation will select a group of creative individuals to support with
resources, connections, practical skills, and direct funding. The cohort will meet throughout the
year to learn from experts in areas including business planning, artist management, public
relations, brand management, finances, and IP law. These skills and connections will help them
provide for their families while also helping them pursue their dreams.

“Many artists and wrestlers are never taught how to manage their finances, investments, and
assets in a way to make sure their family is secure,” said Chris Huber, “Like our father, Jon
always wanted to make sure he was making decisions that were the right decision not only for
his career, but also for his family.”

The foundation will announce its first application round in early 2022.
