The MountainStar Sports Group Foundation, owners of the El Paso Chihuahuas and the El Paso Locomotive, announced Wednesday they are donating nearly $150,000 to the two victim's relief funds to support those affected by the shooting on Aug. 3 in El Paso.

Also, the Chihuahuas parent organization, the San Diego Padres, will donate money and wear special hats during batting practice on Thursday, along with Chihuahuas wearing special uniforms later this week.
