Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper and his wife Nicole have pledged an initial $3 million to help with Hurricane Helene relief efforts through their foundation.
This donation is meant to support immediate and long-term humanitarian aid and recovery in North and South Carolina after the destruction caused by the Category 4 storm.
The area is still in a state of emergency, and more than 50 people have lost their lives.
“The David & Nicole Tepper Foundation, Carolina Panthers, and Charlotte FC stand alongside all those who have been affected by Hurricane Helene and the devastation it has wrought across the southeast, and particularly in our backyard throughout the Carolinas,” David and Nicole Tepper said in a statement.
Tepper bought the Panthers in 2018. The foundation will support various food banks and pantries, local community foundations, and other service agencies in the Carolinas.
“This is our home and we are committed to supporting relief efforts throughout the region by providing critical resources and aiding the efforts of our heroic first responders,” the Teppers said. “The impact on our community has been severe, but Carolinians are resilient and courageous, and together, we will rebuild and recover.”
