The NFL recently announced a generous combined donation of $5 million to various organizations aiding the communities affected by the devastating wildfires in the Los Angeles area. This significant contribution stems from individual contributions from clubs and ownership groups, including the Los Angeles Chargers, Los Angeles Rams, Minnesota Vikings, Houston Texans, and the NFL Foundation.
Notably, the owners of the Los Angeles Rams, the Kroenke family, stepped forward with a remarkable $1 million donation to the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation. This announcement came just three days before the Rams were scheduled to play against the Minnesota Vikings in Glendale, Arizona. Due to safety concerns, the wild-card playoff game was relocated from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
In a heartfelt statement, the Kroenke Family expressed their solidarity with all those impacted by the devastating fires and destruction. They extended their gratitude to the dedicated first responders and individuals who are tirelessly working to protect the community and assist those in need. Recognizing the immediate and long-term needs of the affected areas, the family and the Rams have pledged their commitment to supporting recovery efforts in the coming months and years.
The Rams also announced that players, coaches, and staff will be showing their support by wearing LAFD hats and shirts featuring the team's monogram on Monday. This gesture of solidarity underscores the team's dedication to standing with the community during this challenging time.
