see below for $25 COWBOY /TEXAN tickets for Thursday night
With a Youcaring account, a video and a pledge of $100,000 of his own money, the Texans’ star defensive end started something that is making him the face of relief efforts in Houston. By late morning Tuesday, his effort had topped $1.5 million. So he raised it to $2 million, and then $3 million, $4 million, $5 million as each goal was surpassed.
He now has set his sights on $6 million, according to Youcaring, as donations large and small keep rolling in. At the rate his campaign is reaching each new goal, don’t be surprised if the total he’s aiming for rises again. As Watt put it in one of his quick-hit video updates: “Who knows where we can take this?”
Watt’s fund raising efforts received a huge boost Tuesday afternoon, when Tennessee Titans owner Amy Adams Strunk donated $1 million, which pushed the fund past $3.25 million, according to Watt. He raised more than $750,000 more in a matter of hours to top $4 million and, by dawn Wednesday, he was closing in on $5.1 million from nearly 51,000 donors.
