In the wake of the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio last weekend, the Houston Texans, Dallas Cowboys and Cincinnati Bengals made financial contributions to benefit the victims of the two tragedies.

The Houston Texans Foundation will donate $100,000 and the Gene and Jerry Jones Family Foundation and the Cowboys committed $50,000 to the El Paso Victims' Fund - El Paso Community Foundation. The Foundation is working with the County of El Paso and the City of El Paso to aid affected families.

The Bengals and the NFL Foundation will donate $75,000 to the Dayton Oregon District Tragedy Fund, through The Dayton Foundation. The Dayton Foundation will work with local authorities to distribute the funds to those affected by the shooting.
