The New York Jets and the Johnson family donated $1 million to three local United Way agencies to aid in the recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.

"The United Way continues to improve lives around the world and we need community-based organizations more than ever at this moment," Jets CEO said of the donation. "Everyone has been impacted by this invisible enemy and the United Way is meeting it head-on at home, helping those disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and the economic consequences of the outbreak."

According to CNN, more than 332,00 cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed across the world, and at least 14,500 people have died from the disease.
