Jayson Tatum Donates $10.5 Million for Hurricane Milton Relief Efforts
In a generous act of support, NBA star Jayson Tatum has pledged $10.5 million towards relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, which struck the U.S. with devastating force. The hurricane, which made landfall in Florida as a Category 3 storm, left behind widespread destruction, displacing thousands of residents and damaging homes, infrastructure, and businesses across multiple states.
Tatum’s donation will be distributed among various organizations involved in the ongoing recovery and rebuilding processes, including local charities and national relief agencies. His contribution is expected to aid in providing immediate resources like food, shelter, and medical supplies, while also supporting long-term efforts to restore damaged communities.
This isn’t the first time the Boston Celtics forward has shown his philanthropic side. Known for his dedication to charitable causes, Tatum has previously contributed to educational initiatives and supported families impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. His latest donation highlights his commitment to making a positive impact off the court, particularly during times of crisis.
In a statement, Tatum expressed his empathy for those affected by the hurricane, emphasizing the importance of standing together during challenging times. “Seeing the devastation Hurricane Milton has caused, I knew I had to step up,” Tatum said. “It’s not just about rebuilding homes; it’s about helping people rebuild their lives.”
Hurricane Milton is the second major storm to hit the southeastern U.S. in just a few weeks, following the deadly Hurricane Helene. Relief efforts are underway across Florida and neighboring states, as communities work to recover from the aftermath of both storms. Tatum’s contribution is expected to significantly bolster these efforts, offering hope and much-needed resources to those in need.
