The NFL foundation, Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans are combining to contribute $1.5 million toward immediate assistance and long-term recovery resources for central Texas communities impacted by the flash flooding that occurred on July 4, the league announced.

The deadly flash floods began after a storm caused water to overflow from the Guadalupe River, affecting the Texas Hill Country in areas including Kerr County, where a girls’ summer camp was located.

According to the Associated Press, the death toll from the floods has risen to 78, with at least 10 campers still missing.

On Saturday, the Texans released a statement pledging $500,000 for support and resources to those impacted.

“We are heartbroken by the loss and damage that our neighbors in the Texas Hill Country have endured,” the statement from Cal, Hannah and Janice McNair read. “We are especially devastated to hear about the children who are still missing and we are praying they are reunited with their families soon. Our hearts will remain with everyone affected and in addition to our donation, we will continue to support the search, rescue and recovery efforts in the coming weeks.”
