Glenn Kaino × Tommie Smith


PASS THE BATON

Mint Your Baton Now

Pass to Donate

Pass the Baton is an art project celebrating Tommie Smith’s iconic raised-fist
protest for human rights from the podium during the medal ceremony in the 1968
Olympic Games. Inspired by the baton Tommie used in four record-breaking races,
7,872 digitally-rendered baton NFTs will bring Tommie’s salute and message of
unity and perseverance to digital space. In partnership with 24 organizations
fighting for human rights—Tommie’s Legacy Team—the project will use blockchain
technology to drive meaningful change.


How It Works
1.


TEAMS

Each baton features a team of names that will join Tommie to form a Legacy
Team—including activists, advocates, and changemakers like Megan Rapinoe, Minyon
Moore, Jesse Williams, Derrick Johnson, and Brittany Packnett Cunningham.

2.


DONATIONS

As batons are passed, smart contracts will trigger donations to nonprofits
selected by the Legacy Team members on the baton.


3.


EVOLUTIONS

As donations grow, the batons evolve with rarer attributes.

4.


PERKS

Active community members and baton holders will be rewarded with exclusive
access, engaging experiences, and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities that can only
be secured by our team of amazing partners.

Collaborators
and Partners

Pass the Baton proudly supports 24 non-profit organizations that continue the
fight for equality. Civil rights is an intergenerational struggle, and this
project creates vital ongoing support for those that carry the baton for future
generations.

Proceeds from the sale will also enable the artist to support the acquisition of
the monumental sculpture Invisible Man (Salute) by the Los Angeles County Museum
of Art and the large-scale installation Bridge by the Smithsonian American Art
Museum.
