Dodgers News: Curtis Granderson Donates To Houston Food Bank Hurricane Harvey Relief

Since making landfall last weekend, hurricane Harvey has wreaked havoc on southeast Texas, in particular hitting the city of Houston hard. Families have lost homes to flooding and been displaced as torrential rain continues to fall.

On Wednesday, the tropical storm again reached land, putting citizens in further despair. Several professional athletes and teams have provided aid to the region through charitable donations.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Scott Kazmir, a Houston native, donated $130,000 that was distributed amongst four separate organizations.

He’s been joined by teammate Curtis Granderson, who pledged $25,000 to the Houston Food Bank and invited others to contribute:

#GrandKids is donating $25K to @houstonfoodbank (75K meals) in the wake of #HurricaneHarvey. Join us, $1 = 3 Meals https://t.co/92453xcj2s pic.twitter.com/r9sI3bbQKP

Granderson has long been lauded for his charitable work through his Grand Kids Foundation. He used Players Weekend to generate proceeds for the organization by raffling off three autographed cleats.

The Grand Kids Foundation strives to aid positive youth development via education, physical fitness and nutrition.

Granderson and Kazmir are following in the footsteps of Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, who has spearheaded a campaign that’s raised over $5 million. Watt’s continued to raise the target goal, seemingly by the hour, as patrons make their respective donations.
