Texas Sports Teams Rally Together for Flood Relief in the Hill Country, Donating Over $6.5 Million
SAN ANTONIO, TX — In a remarkable show of unity and compassion, Texas-based professional sports teams across the NBA, NFL, and MLB have come together to support victims and communities impacted by the devastating flooding across the Central Texas Hill Country.
The NBA, in collaboration with the San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, and the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA), has pledged more than $2 million toward relief efforts. These funds will support both immediate needs—such as emergency shelter, food, and medical aid—as well as long-term recovery and rebuilding efforts in the most affected areas.
The recent storms brought relentless rainfall to the Hill Country, resulting in dangerous flash floods that forced evacuations, destroyed property, and left several communities under disaster declarations. Emergency responders and volunteers have been working tirelessly to assist those in need as cleanup and recovery efforts continue.
Joining the effort, the Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, and the NFL Foundation have committed a combined $1.5 million to assist victims’ families and survivors. Their support includes short-term emergency relief as well as ongoing recovery resources for the affected communities.
Additionally, Major League Baseball teams have stepped in to lend their support. Both the Texas Rangers and Houston Astros have each announced a $1 million donation to help fuel recovery efforts. Their contributions will be directed toward organizations providing direct assistance, infrastructure rebuilding, and long-term community support across the region.
Together, these contributions from Texas sports organizations total over $6.5 million, providing a significant boost to relief efforts during one of the most challenging times in the region’s recent history.
This unprecedented level of cross-league cooperation highlights the strength and heart of the Texas sports community, united not by competition, but by compassion and commitment to the people they represent.
Additional details about how the funds will be distributed are expected in the coming days. In the meantime, residents and supporters are encouraged to contribute to verified disaster relief organizations assisting in the Central Texas Hill Country. The path to recovery is long, but with continued support and solidarity, hope remains strong.
