Vick gives $10,000 for victim families

The Associated Press
Published on: 04/19/07

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.

I'm glad to see the donations start off. I am thinking about donating some as well but I got no moneh.
 
Vick's brother went to VT a couple of years ago but he got in trouble and never became a football star. He's on a practice squad of like Miami or something. I don't think it's wrong people are donating for this, but why can't they donate for normal day donations? It has to be a shooting? I would be surprised if Vick would just donate money to charity right off the bat.

You do know that this was the largest mass killing in U.S. history? Vick went to Virginia Tech so I guess he decided to donate money to something that hit home and he knew would make it easier for other people. Donating money to find cures or like wise causes is for the hope that there is a cure.
 
I know...but it's 30 people. What about people in Africa and everywhere else with diseases where MASSES AND MASSES (yes capitalized :P) are dieing and sick. 30 people out of 250 million (US approximate) is not a lot, but it's a number, but what about the general population.

Marcus Vick. He stepped on someone's leg and broke it.
