After the devastating floods throughout Central Texas in recent days, the Houston Astros have announced that they are committing $1 million to relief efforts of those affected.
In addition, the Astros Foundation will be setting up a fan-initiative for those who want to get involved as well. The efforts will be focused on helping those who are in Central Texas to rebuild and recover from this natural disaster.
“It’s important to the entire Astros organization, to send immediate support to our fellow Texans throughout the Hill Country during this devastating time,” said Astros Owner and Chairman Jim Crane, alongside his wife Whitney Crane. “There is a lot still unknown as recovery efforts are ongoing, but the Astros are committed to supporting Central Texas communities in the long term through the coming days, months and years to help rebuild and heal. We also want to acknowledge and personally thank all of the First Responders for their continued heroic efforts.”
