The Carolina Panthers and team owner David Tepper announced on Thursday an initial relief package intended to help victims of Hurricane Florence.
Tepper indicated last week that he and the team were engaging with local and state officials, as well charities in both Carolinas “to develop a plan to best assess the needs of the region and ensure we can effectively deploy resources to those most impacted.”
Over the years, Tepper has had a great deal of experience with responding to devastating hurricanes, including Sandy, Maria, Irma and Harvey.
“The David Tepper Charitable Foundation and Carolina Panthers Charities are working with frontline partners across the Carolinas to provide aid and critical resources to help communities begin recovering in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence,” Tepper said.
