Retired San Antonio Spurs star Tim Duncan is asking for help for the U.S. Virgin Islands, decimated by Hurricane Irma just days ago, and country singer Kenny Chesney is launching a relief foundation for the islands. Duncan, who was born and grew up in the U.S. Virgin Islands, said in The Players’ Tribune that he is donating $250,000 immediately to storm relief efforts and will match donations up to the first $1 million. “Weather reports say that another Category 5 storm, Hurricane Jose, is close behind. “I’ve been thinking a lot about my old neighborhood in St. Croix, where I recently took my kids,” he wrote. “I’ve always felt that music was medicine,” he continued, adding that he has started a relief foundation called Love for Love City.
