Vick gives $10,000 for victim families
(AP) - Atlanta Falcons quarterback
Michael Vick has teamed up with the United Way to donate $10,000 to
assist families affected by the massacre at Virginia Tech, his former
school.
"When tragic things like this happen, families have enough to deal with,
and if I can help in some small way, that's the least I can do," said
Vick, who played for the Hokies before being drafted No. 1 overall by
the Falcons in 2001.
The Vick Foundation is collecting donations from local communities in
both Atlanta and Virginia that will be placed in the United In Caring
Fund for Victims of the VA Tech Tragedy and the special fund at the
United Way of Montgomery, Radford and Floyd counties, which serves the
Virginia Tech area.
Vick's foundation said the money will be used to provide help with
funeral expenses, transportation for family members and other support
services.
