“The devastation caused by the wildfires in southern California is heartbreaking,” said Houston Texans chairman and CEO Cal McNair. “We are proud to join together with our NFL family to provide support and resources to those who have been impacted as well as the firefighters and first responders who continue to work tirelessly to contain the fires.”
In total, the Texans’ contribution adds to a $5 million relief fund, with other donations coming from the Los Angeles Chargers, Los Angeles Rams, Minnesota Vikings, and the NFL Foundation.
