The tragedy that rocked Charleston, South Carolina three days ago has resonated throughout America. For Panthers owner Jerry Richardson, it prompted a specific act of generosity.
Via Panthers defensive Colin Cole’s Twitter account, Richardson has donated $100,000 to the victims of the mass shooting, with $10,000 to each of the families of the nine murder victims to help defray funeral costs and $10,000 to the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church.
“Some things are just bigger than football,” Cole wrote. “Thank you Mr. Richardson.”
