According to Yahoo Sports, Mark Davis, the owner of the Las Vegas Raiders has recently made a donation of $1 million dollars to the Uvalde School District, in order to help fortify the schools of the district after the recent shooting that occurred at Robb Elementary that resulted in the deaths of 19 children and two adults. Apparently Davis decided on the donation after speaking with Vann McElroy a former safety who happened to grow up in the area. As it turns out McElroy who was drafted by the Raiders in 1982, had spoken with Davis about what had occurred, and when asked how Davis could help it was suggested that he donate. The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District mad a public statement thanking Davis, “We thank Mr. Davis and the Raiders organization for this very generous gift. Vann is a life-long friend and a huge part of Uvalde,” Harrell stated. “We will put this money to good use. This contribution should go a long way in making our schools safer.” The money that has been donated will reportedly be used to strengthen doors, add cameras, and supply additional fencing.”
