Texas Longhorns Donate $1 Million to Support Flash Flood

The University of Texas at Austin has made a significant contribution to the relief efforts in Texas following the devastating flash floods that hit the state. While the specific details of the university’s donation are not available, other prominent Texas-based organizations have stepped up to support the affected communities.

The Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans, two prominent NFL teams, have pledged $500,000 each to support rescue and recovery efforts. Their combined donation of $1 million, along with another $500,000 from the NFL Foundation, totals $1.5 million. These funds will go directly towards providing essential resources for rescue, relief, and long-term recovery efforts.

Donations from Texas-Based Organizations:

Dallas Cowboys: $500,000 to The Salvation Army for emergency shelter, meals, and recovery support

Houston Texans: $500,000 to support search, rescue, and recovery efforts in the Texas Hill Country

NFL Foundation: $500,000 to aid in disaster relief efforts

The flash floods have resulted in at least 70 deaths, with multiple young girls still missing from Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp in Hunt, Texas. Emergency crews and volunteers are working tirelessly to provide aid to displaced residents and search for missing individuals. Governor Greg Abbott has declared a state of emergency in multiple counties, and FEMA has deployed teams to assist with disaster relief ¹.
