Panthers announce Hurricane Florence relief package

[TheSpecialJuan]

After Hurricane Florence touched down in the Carolinas last week, the Panthers said in a statement that they would work to “develop a plan to best assess the needs of the region and ensure we can effectively deploy resources to those most impacted.”

The Panthers announced their initial aid package on Thursday. The foundation of owner David Tepper and the team’s charitable arm will donate $1 million to the American Red Cross’ financial assistance program designed to provide “people in shelters with stipends and gift cards to help them transition back to their lives.”

I absolutely LOVE it when people have the audacity to judge how much people donate.  

Please tell me what % of your income your donating?  

I’m sorry, I don’t mean this to come across as a personal attack either.  But I freakin hate it when people judge the amount someone (usually higher up people) donates.  Any donation is a positive. $1 million is a huge help and trying to discredit it is ridiculous.  Even a dollar donation is better than nothing and should not be negatively viewed.

And the article even says “initial aid”, as in they very well could donate more.  

But I’m sorry him donating ONE MILLION doesn’t “impress” some of you.  I wasn’t aware helping those in need was about impressing people.

Probably won't be able to donate anything as the storm shut my wife's job down for the foreseeable future and my cancer surgery which was rescheduled due to the storm will already cost us several thousand dollars and we have insurance, that is our share, and we have damage from the storm that will not be comped via homeowners for at least another grand.  So gfy.

So then why do you view him donating $1 million, which could go into helping open the job back up and helping with damage, as a negative? 

My purpose of asking you that wasn’t to tell you that you should donate - I’m a college kid with nothing to offer.  There is no shame in not donating.  My point was that any donation should be appreciated, and saying a $1 million donation “doesn’t impress you” sounds stuck-up and entitled. 

I wish you the best in your recovery regardless

See above Teppe rd million is less than a buck to you and me.  Does he have to give anything? No .  But if you do for God's sake be sincere as to your means.  Million to Teppe r is as sincere concern as trump in New been yes terday.

If you haven't noticed this isn't the only thing he gives money for. Your point would be valid if this was the sole cause he supports.

This  is where you say "Yeah, I probably jumped to conclusions" not doubling down

A million dollars is a million dollars.  You’re literally holding it against him because he’s rich.  That is illogical.

And who cares if it’s “sincere”?  If someone gives you $1 million, are you gonna not accept it because it “isn’t sincere”?

Tepper is a known philanthropist

 

how much are you donating?  

[Moo Daeng]

This is the donation in the name of the Panthers. We have no idea how much he gives through other channels at this point in his name.
