The NFL neighborhood is becoming a member of forces to help victims of the Los Angeles wildfires … donating a mixed $5 million to the reduction fund.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell introduced the donation on Friday … revealing the league and the Rams, Chargers, Vikings and Texans organizations stepped as much as present help to L.A. County, the place historic blazes have destroyed 1000’s of properties.
“We are heartbroken over the devastating losses experienced by so many in the Los Angeles area and inspired by the heroism of first responders and residents who have supported their neighbors,” Goodell stated.
A minimum of 10 folks had been killed within the wildfires.
The Chargers and Rams — who each have playoff video games this weekend — will honor first responders by sporting customized LAFD hats and shirts for his or her matchups.
Followers can even have the chance to buy the merch for themselves … and all proceeds will go to the LAFD Basis and American Purple Cross.
Recreation-used jerseys and footballs can even be auctioned off through NFL Public sale, with all proceeds benefiting the American Purple Cross.
As well as, half of the 50/50 raffle on the Rams recreation — which was moved to State Farm Stadium in Arizona — might be donated to the trigger.
“On behalf of our family and the Los Angeles Rams, our thoughts are with everyone affected by the unfathomable fires and destruction,” the Kroenke household stated.
“We know there are both immediate and long-term needs and our family and the Rams are committed to doing our part to support recovery efforts now and into the months and years ahead.”
