Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie is donating $500,000 to the cause and it's a number that could rise with other initiatives.
PHILADELPHIA – Received a couple of texts from friends who live in NFL cities outside of Pennsylvania asking me if news reached me that Jeffrey Lurie was donating money to those impacted by the wildfires in Southern California.Lurie is contributing $500,000 to California Community Foundation to help deliver essential resources to those impacted by the wildfires.
“We recognize the lasting effects a natural disaster can have on a community, and we are compelled to join the recovery efforts. The victims, first responders, and all who have been affected will continue to be on our minds and in our hearts.” The Eagles have won only one Super Bowl on his watch, but he has been to three and the organization has a 269-211-3 record. But what Lurie does to raise money for autism research through his Eagles Autism Research foundation is exemplary. More than $30 million has been raised for research, most of it through his signature event held every May, the Eagles Autism Challenge.
-The Eagles will donate to to cover critical expenses, such as medical care, facility maintenance, and support for lifesaving programs for animals on the ground in Los Angeles.
