Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, NFL Donate $1.5M to Texas Flood Victims

News summary

Devastating flash floods in central Texas, particularly in Kerr County and the Texas Hill Country, have caused at least 70 deaths and left dozens of campers, including 11 girls from Camp Mystic, missing as of early July 2025. The floods hit rapidly over the Independence Day weekend, with the Guadalupe River rising 26 feet in 45 minutes, destroying homes and infrastructure, and prompting ongoing rescue efforts. In response, the Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, and the NFL Foundation pledged a combined $1.5 million in donations to aid immediate rescue, relief, and long-term recovery efforts, with the Cowboys alone donating $500,000 to The Salvation Army. Cowboys legend Troy Aikman expressed sorrow and urged prayers for the missing children and their families, while both teams emphasized their commitment to supporting affected communities. Additional support has come from Texas-based organizations like the Kendra Scott Foundation, which is donating proceeds from sales to flood relief. Officials continue search-and-rescue operations amid challenging conditions, with hopes of finding missing campers alive despite the widespread destruction.
