Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert will donate $100,000 to families in Oklahoma City who have been affected by the coronavirus, the Jazz announced Saturday.

Gobert's local support is part of a larger contribution. He has pledged $200,000 to aid part-time employees who work at Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City. Gobert will also donate $100,000 to support families in Utah affected by the coronavirus and 100,000 euros to his home country of France, where there are more than 4,400 confirmed cases of COVID-19.

Gobert's total contributions will surpass $500,000.

"I am humbled by the tireless efforts and care of people around the globe for those affected by COVID-19, especially my own communities of Utah and France, in addition to my appreciation for the state of Oklahoma and my care there, and of course, my Utah Jazz family," Gobert said in a press release.
