J.J. Watt launched an online relief fund for Hurricane Harvey victims on Sunday with an initial goal of raising $200,000. Incredibly, the fund has raised more than $3.25 million dollars and is still growing.

The fund has been buoyed by big donations from some big names in the world of sports. Chris Paul donated $50,000, Watt donated $100,000 of his own money and Tennessee Titans owner and Houston Native Amy Adams Strunk donated $1 million on behalf of the Titans organization.

The fund quickly surpassed its initial goal as well as each subsequent goal Watt has set.
