As Hurricane Harvey ravages Southeast Texas, many people have been donating an ample amount of money to nonprofits that work to assist those affected by the tropical storm. The owners of the Houston Rockets, Houston Astros and Houston Texans are planning to collectively donate over $16 million dollars.

“The owners of the NFL’s Texans, MLB’s Astros and NBA’s Rockets have pledged millions of dollars toward relief efforts,” said Ahiza Garcia of CNN.

The generous donations of those who are affected by Hurricane Harvey will help bring relief to those who have experienced loss as a result of the storm. Thanks to the owners of the these local teams, Southeast Texas can recover faster and return back to normal life.
