David Tepper, Carolina Panthers owner and his wife Nicole Tepper stepped up and donated $1 million to Hurricane Ida relief. According to the NFL, the money will go to assist local relief efforts in New Orleans following the devastating storm. Donations of $1 were also made by Gayle Benson owner of the New Orleans Saints, Arthur Blank of the Atlanta Falcons, the NFL Foundation, and the Baltimore Ravens Stephen and Renee Bisciotti Foundation.

Additionally, the New Orleans Saints will work with the NFL Foundation to identify local nonprofits to help those in need in the state of Louisiana. The Saints are currently practicing in Dallas and will go to Jacksonville to host the Green Bay Packers in week one.

I’m proud of David Tepper and the Panthers organization for stepping up and making the donation to Hurricane Ida Relief. If you’d like to donate find out how here.
