Tom Brady, Morgan Wallen Lead Celebrity Donations To Hurricane Victims

Tom Brady on Thursday announced he will be donating $100,000 toward hurricane relief for Florida residents who are struggling from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton.

Hurricane Milton made landfall on Florida’s gulf coast on Saturday, bringing record-breaking rainfall to the Tampa Bay area and serious flooding. The storm also spawned a tornado outbreak that caused multiple fatalities in Fort Pierce, Port St. Lucie.

“In the wake of Hurricane Milton, I’ll be making a donation of $100k to help get essentials like food, water and first aid to fellow Floridians in need,” Brady said in a statement after the latest hurricane made landfall.

The NFL legend – who is currently working as a broadcaster for Fox – announced that food delivery company GoPuff will be matching his donation.  “My friends at (Gopuff) are matching this, along with all the other donations made via “Give with Gopuff,’ all benefitting the Volunteer Florida Foundation.

“Keep those impacted by these storms in your prayers, look out for your neighbors, and continue to help out anyway you’re able. Stay safe, and stay strong Florida.”

Brady is the latest celebrity to offer his support to hurricane victims. 

Feeding America announced on Instagram on Wednesday that Taylor Swift donated $5 million to their organization, which is aiding Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina as the hurricanes continue to devastate those areas.
