The New York Yankees announced Friday they are donating $500,000 to support Hurricane Irma relief efforts in the southeastern United States.
The donation includes $250,000 apiece to the Salvation Army and the Red Cross.
"The destruction that was caused in the wake of Hurricane Irma will have a long-lasting impact on the lives of many," Yankees general partner Jennifer Steinbrenner Swindal said. "During times like these it is important to offer support in whatever way possible, and our hearts go out to all those affected."
New York previously committed $100,000 to Hurricane Harvey relief, and Yankees players pledged $9,000 for every win from Sept.
