Texans lend helping hands
The Houston Texans and the NFL kicked off a drive Sunday to raise $2 million to help relief and recovery efforts in Texas from Hurricane Ike.
Houston owner Bob McNair announced he is giving $500,000, with the NFL and NFL Players Association matching that amount. Chevron Corporation added $250,000, but McNair said before kickoff of the game between his Texans and Tennessee that they are hoping to raise the remaining money from corporations and other businesses.
“We’ve been out at the pods center distributing items,” McNair said. ” We just have a lot of empathy for all the fans that have suffered. I’m without power still, so I understand. But at least I have a roof over my head, and some people don’t.”
