HOUSTON (CBS 58) -- Pewaukee native J.J. Watt's You Caring fundraiser for victims of the flooding in Houston has passed the updated goal of $10 million. The project started on Sunday with a goal of $200,000 and has been increased multiple times.
In a video Thursday morning, Watt said they will not be increasing the goal but are just going to see how high it goes.
You can donate to Watt's fundraiser here.
Watt's Foundation is also collecting items locally in Pewaukee that will be shipped down to Houston. You can drop off donations until 3:30 p.m. on Thursday at which time everything will be packed up into semis and driven down to Houston where JJ Watt himself will deliver the goods directly to people in need.
$10 MILLION!!!
