Janice McNair loves the city of Houston.
The Houston Texans co-founder and senior chair announced Monday she and the club would be donating $500,000 to the Greater Houston/Harris County 2021 Winter Storm Relief Fund.
“We are happy to lend a helping hand to our fellow neighbors during challenging times like these,” McNair said in a statement provided by the team. “I’d like to express my sincere gratitude to Mayor Turner and Judge Hidalgo for their leadership of the relief fund and including us in the recovery efforts. This city is full of strong and resilient people who will benefit greatly from these funds.”
The funds will go towards grantmaking for local nonprofits that will target the needs of families who need more help to recover, including assistance with plumbing, home repairs, temporary housing, and even basic issues.
Texans chairman and CEO Cal McNair said they consider “everyone who lives and works in Harris County to be part of the Texans family.”
“Houstonians continue to show time and again that when we act as one team, with a united mission, we can accomplish anything,” said McNair. “Helping our neighbors get back on their feet after this unprecedented winter storm is no exception.”
Cal McNair will be a part of the Greater Houston/Harris County 2021 Winter Storm Relief Fund Advisory Board. The committee will oversee and administer the grant distribution process.
