Former 49ers quarterback and NFL free-agent Colin Kaepernick announced his final $100,000 donation of his $1 million initiative Wednesday.

Kaepernick is asking his celebrity friends to match 10 different $10,000 donations to charities of their choice.

Goldon State Warriors Kevin Durant was the first celebrity to match a $10,000 donation. Durant chose Silicon Valley DeBug, a charity based in San Jose, Calif., which will receive a $20,000 donation.
