The profits will be donated to the program of Mexico City’s Mathematics Olympiad and to Special Olympics Mexico , which provides sports training to people with intellectual disabilities.

The Mexican director has supported several causes through donations. One of the most famous cases was when he helped a group of students travel to the Mathematics International Olympiad.
