(CNN) Two Dallas sports team owners announced Saturday donations of $1 million apiece to help the city's schools recover from last week's tornadoes.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones announced a $1 million donation to the Dallas Independent School District to help rebuild the Thomas Jefferson High School football field after a tornado tore through the city last week.

The announcement was made during a ceremony before Thomas Jefferson's homecoming football game against Spruce High School.

"Without a doubt, the foundation of sports at the professional level where the Dallas Cowboys play, the foundation is right here on this field," said Jones. "It's here with our amateur sports and it's here with our youth."

The donation will be made by the Gene and Jerry Jones Family Foundation and the NFL Foundation.
