CeeDee Lamb Donates $80 Million to Aid Flood Victims in Kerr County and Texas Hill Country
Dallas, TX — Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has pledged an astounding $80 million to assist victims of the recent floods that devastated Kerr County and the Texas Hill Country. His donation will provide immediate support for rescue operations, emergency relief, and long-term recovery for thousands of affected residents.
Torrential rains over the past week triggered severe flash floods, submerging homes, damaging roads, and displacing entire communities. Emergency services have been working around the clock to conduct rescue missions and deliver aid to stranded families. As the scale of the destruction became clear, Lamb stepped in with one of the largest personal contributions seen in response to a Texas natural disaster.
Through his foundation, Lamb is partnering with local and state agencies to ensure the funds are used effectively. The donation will support:
Ongoing search and rescue operations
Emergency shelters and temporary housing
Medical assistance and food supplies
Repairs to critical infrastructure including schools and clinics
Mental health and trauma support for victims
Speaking during a press briefing, Lamb expressed his deep concern for those affected and his personal connection to the state.
> “Texas is home,” he said. “Seeing people lose everything overnight is heartbreaking. I wanted to make sure they know they’re not alone, and that help is here.”
Local leaders praised the donation, calling it a lifeline for the community. Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly said Lamb’s action would fast-track recovery efforts and offer relief to those most in need.
> “CeeDee’s generosity is a turning point in this disaster response,” Kelly said. “His gift brings hope and tangible help to our people.”
The Dallas Cowboys organization also voiced their support. Head coach Mike McCarthy commended Lamb not just for his performance on the field but for his leadership and compassion off it.
> “This goes beyond football,” McCarthy said. “What CeeDee’s done reflects the heart of this team. He’s showing the world what it means to give back.”
Social media quickly lit up with praise for Lamb’s action, with teammates, fans, and fellow athletes applauding the move. Relief organizations have already begun deploying parts of the donation to extend their reach and improve response capabilities in affected areas.
In his closing remarks, Lamb encouraged others to step up in any way they can.
> “Every bit of help matters,” he said. “Whether you’re donating, volunteering, or even just sharing resources, we all have a part to play in helping these communities recover.”
As floodwaters recede and the full extent of the damage comes into view, Lamb’s donation is already making a difference. His contribution stands as a powerful example of how athletes can leverage their platform for real, lasting impact—bringing hope and help when it’s needed most.
