For the past few weeks, the aftereffects Hurricane Harvey have tore through Houston. It has been a terrible tragedy, one that has caused much devastation and left many people in need of help. Matt Carpenter, a Texas native, has made a pledge to help those affected by this disaster:
From now till the rest of the season we will donate 10,000 dollars for every Homerun I hit to help aid the relief efforts in Houston
— Matt Carpenter (@MattCarp13) August 28, 2017
Adam Wainwright has also joined the cause:
Because @UncleCharlie50 is a stud in every sense of the word..he has pledged to match the 10,000 for each Homerun I hit #prayingforHouston
— Matt Carpenter (@MattCarp13) August 28, 2017
There are also ways we can help. SBNation has written up a post detailing these ways here. You can also check out the link Carpenter tweeted:
If you're looking to donate check this out https://t.co/5SLFL49wMI or if you're a MLB pitcher throw balls down the middle
