The National Football League is doing its part to help the victims of Hurricane Florence. On Sunday, The NFL Foundation announced a $1 million contribution to Hurricane Florence relief efforts. The league says the money will be distributed to organizations on the ground that can meet the immediate needs of those most impacted by the storm. "The NFL family sends its support to the individuals, families and communities affected by Hurricane Florence," said Commissioner Roger Goodell. "Natural disasters like these are devastating. As communities in and around the Carolinas recover and rebuild, we hope these funds will provide some measure of relief in the days, weeks and months ahead." Weakened to a tropical depression early Sunday after blowing ashore as a hurricane with 90 mph winds on Friday, Florence was still spinning slowly atop the Carolinas as it pulled warm water from the ocean and hurled it onshore. The storm’s death toll climbed to 14 as of Sunday morning. About 740,000 homes and businesses remained without power in the Carolinas, and utilities said some service could be out for weeks.
