GREEN BAY, WI (Wisconsin Radio Network) -- Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is stepping up to help with wildfire relief in his native California.
Rodgers tweeted a video on Wednesday in which he announced that he will donate $1 million to the relief efforts, and requested others to contribute as well. “Raising money for both immediate needs and the long term recovery is what’s needed now,” Rodgers said.
Dozens of people have died and hundreds remain unaccounted for in the Camp Fire, the most destructive in the state’s history.
“In northern California where I was born and raised, the city of Paradise burned to the ground and many of the residents who got out are now displaced in my hometown of Chico and across the north state,” Rodgers said in the tweet.
