Hurricane Milton made landfall Wednesday night near Siesta Key, Florida, about 65 miles south of Tampa. The hurricane tore through Tampa, marking the first time the city has been directly hit by a hurricane in more than 100 years. Maximum sustained winds of 120 mph ripped the roof off of the Tropicana Dome, home of the Tampa Bay Rays.
Brady spent the final three seasons of his NFL career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after playing with the New England Patriots for 20 years. He led the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl LV title in his first year with the team and officially retired two years later following the 2022 season.

Along with his own $100,000 donation, Brady shared that food delivery company Gopuff would be matching his contribution and all other donations made through "Give With Gopuff" to benefit the Volunteer Florida Foundation.
"Keep those impacted by these storms in your prayers, look out for your neighbors, and continue to help out anyway you're able."
