<p>Hurricane Harvey continues to deliver immense destruction to the Houston area, and the relief effort undoubtedly will be a long and expensive process. But Houston Rockets owner Leslie Alexander is doing his best to help out his community.
<p>The Rockets announced Monday that Alexander would be donating $4 million to the relief effort.

<p><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
<p>But Alexander decided to up his donation Tuesday, according to Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle.</p>

<p>Wow, that&#8217;s an incredible gesture.
<p>Alexander isn&#8217;t the only member of the Houston sports fraternity doing his best to help the community, though, as Texans star J.J. Watt <a href="https://nesn.com/2017/08/texans-j-j-watt-launches-fundraiser-to-support-houston-flood-relief/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">launched a fundraiser</a> Sunday that already has raised $3.3 million.
