Hurricane Harvey continues to deliver immense destruction to the Houston area, and the relief effort undoubtedly will be a long and expensive process. But Houston Rockets owner Leslie Alexander is doing his best to help out his community.
The Rockets announced Monday that Alexander would be donating $4 million to the relief effort.

Wow, that’s an incredible gesture.
Alexander isn’t the only member of the Houston sports fraternity doing his best to help the community, though, as Texans star J.J. Watt launched a fundraiser Sunday that already has raised $3.3 million.
