Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt has been using his celebrity for good over the past two days, raising money for victims of Hurricane Harvey, which has hit Texans country particularly hard.

In the span of 24 hours Watt and those generous enough to donate blew past the goal of $200,000 and reached $500,000. New Rockets guard Chris Paul gave $50,000 to eclipse the half-million mark.
Watt is now aiming to raise $1 million and is getting closer to that goal by the second. The figure is currently at $743,881 and rising.
