The seven major Bay Area professional sports teams combined forces for a collective $450,000 donation to support North Bay fire relief efforts, they announced Wednesday.
The Warriors, 49ers, Raiders, Giants, A’s, Sharks and Earthquakes set up a donation site at www.youcaring.com/firerelief for their fans to donate what they can to support the victims of the fires. Alternatively, fans of those franchises can contribute by texting “REDCROSS” to 90999 to give $10 to American Red Cross Disaster Relief.
Here are the statements sent by representatives from those seven teams:
Warriors president and COO Rick Welts: “The North Bay is a large part of our Warriors family and we’re devastated by what they are enduring at this time.
