Buccaneers owners donate $1 million to Hurricane Irma relief efforts

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are lending their support to those affected by the devastation caused by Hurricane Irma, as the team announced Monday that the Glazer family is set to donate $1 million to the American Red Cross in support of relief efforts that are currently taking place.

Buccaneers co-chairman Bryan Glazer issued a statement, offering his condolences to those affected by the storm as well as his support for those working on the recovery process.

"Hurricane Irma left a path of destruction throughout the entire state of Florida. The long recovery process is already underway and the entire Buccaneer organization stands in support of all those who have been impacted," Glazer's statement reads. "Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected as well as the countless numbers of first responders and everyone who is working so selflessly to keep our communities safe."

The Buccaneers' Week 1 matchup with in-state rivals Miami Dolphins was postponed due to the oncoming storm, and the game was subsequently pushed back to Week 11 when both teams were previously scheduled to have a bye week.
