Proceeds from Texans-Cowboys to be donated to Hurricane Harvey relief
The Houston Texans and Dallas Cowboys will donate proceeds from Thursday's preseason game to United Way to assist with Hurricane Harvey relief efforts, the Texans announced in a press release.
Texans owner Bob McNair asserted Monday his club will donate $1 million to the United Way of Greater Houston Flood Relief Fund, with both the Cowboys and the NFL Foundation matching their pledge.
Tickets will cost $25 and will go on sale Tuesday evening at 7 p.m. ET.
The Texans were originally scheduled to host the contest, but the Cowboys stepped in to hold the game at AT&T Stadium, with the NFL citing public safety concerns.
Texans superstar J.J. Watt has raised over $3.25 million in relief efforts and set a new target of $4 million to go toward victims of Hurricane Harvey.
This is truly unbelievable.
