Hurricane Katrina Relief

Warrick Dunn has issued a challenge to all NFL players, except for the Saints, to donate to help the victims of the devastating Hurricane Katrina.

"I'm challenging guys on every NFL team, except the Saints, to donate at least $5,000 to help people come back from this catastrophe. If we get players to do that, that would amount to $260,000 per team. I have heard from so many players both on my team and around the league who just want to do something. Well, this is the best thing that we can do and it's something we should do."

If Dunn is successful in getting 53 players on the 31 NFL teams to respond with the $5,000 donation, NFL players would be able to give $8.2 million to the relief effort.

Dunn will be working with the Arthur Blank Family Foundation to organize his effort. Whatever money is collected will be pooled, and he hopes the NFL player representatives would vote on exactly what agencies would get the money. He said he already had commitments from Falcons teammates of at least the $260,000 team goal.
