The NFL family is providing $8 million to support communities affected by Hurricane Helene. Led by individual contributions from clubs and ownership groups from the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Houston Texans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and NFL Foundation, the donations will deliver critical resources and support to those affected by the storm.

Individual club contributions to relief efforts include:

• ·     The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, in partnership with the Atlanta Falcons, has provided World Central Kitchen with a $2 million grant to provide Georgians affected by Hurricane Helene with emergency meals.
• The David & Nicole Tepper Foundation, in partnership with the Carolina Panthers, has made an initial $3 million commitment to Hurricane Helene relief to support immediate and long-term humanitarian aid and recovery efforts in North and South Carolina.
• The Houston Texans have pledged $1 million to support those impacted by Hurricane Helene with immediate and long-term aid.
• ·     The Glazer family, owners of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has pledged $1 million to support local nonprofit organizations in the region aiding those most impacted by Hurricane Helene.

In addition, the NFL Foundation, the league’s philanthropic arm, is complementing the club donations with a $1 million contribution to support relief efforts. The NFL is hosting a Hurricane Helene disaster relief auction with the Red Cross through NFL Auction to support recovery efforts.

“Our hearts go out to all of those impacted by Hurricane Helene, and the NFL is committed to doing our part to help the affected communities recover,” said NFL Vice President of Philanthropy and Executive Director of the NFL Foundation Alexia Gallagher. “The NFL is privileged to play a vital role in communities across the country, and we are proud to work with the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Houston Texans and Tampa Bay Buccaneers to provide critical resources and support to those in need.”
