Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant is pledging $1 million to assist tornado victims through his family foundation, according to The Associated Press.
The gift from The Durant Family Foundation given to the American Red Cross is meant to match other donations and be an incentive for more people to give. Janienne Bella, Red Cross’s regional CEO, has thanked the 24-year-old All-Star for his unselfish gesture.
“The Red Cross relies on its donors to perform its mission in relieving human suffering following disasters,” she said in a statement. “Mr. Durant’s gift and support to Oklahoma comes at a time of great need and we’re forever thankful for his generosity.”
On Tuesday, the Thunder organization also pledged a $1 million donation.
