WESTFIELD, Ind. (WRTV) — On Sunday, The Indiana Fever, Indiana Pacers, Noblesville Boom and the Indianapolis Colts today announced a combined $250,000 donation to the American Red Cross to support central Indiana families impacted by historic flooding and severe weather.
The donation – $125,000 from the Fever, Pacers and Boom and $125,000 from the Colts – will support the American Red Cross’ ongoing response and recovery efforts.
“The financial cost for families, businesses and others is enormous, but the emotional stress can be equally daunting and heavy,” Kalen Jackson, Colts Owner, Chief Brand Officer & President of the Colts Foundation said in a release.
“It’s times like these when it’s so important for people and communities to come together to take care of each other.”
