The Minnesota Vikings and their owners, the Wilf family, have committed $500,000 to support rescue and recovery operations following the catastrophic flooding in Kerr County and the wider Texas Hill Country. The contribution, announced on Wednesday, will be directed to organizations coordinating relief, according to a statement from owners Mark, Zygi and Leonard Wilf. The pledge matches earlier $500,000 donations by the Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Texans, bringing total commitments from National Football League teams to at least $1.5 million as emergency crews continue search-and-rescue missions and begin long-term rebuilding plans in the region.
