The Houston Astros are donating $1 million to support the recovery from the flooding that has devastated the Texas Hill Country, the team announced Monday.

As of 4:45 p.m. ET on Monday, state officials had confirmed at least 94 people have died from the floods in central Texas, including 27 campers and counselors at Camp Mystic along the Guadalupe River. Ten campers and one counselor were still missing, according to Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha.

A wall of water swept over the area after heavy rainfall saw the Guadalupe River rise 26 feet in less than an hour early Friday morning.

The Astros said in addition to the initial “short-term” investment in relief efforts, the Astros Foundation will start an initiative to mobilize their fan base to provide sustained support for rebuilding and recovery.

“It’s important to the entire Astros organization to send immediate support to our fellow Texans throughout the Hill Country during this devastating time,” Astros owner and chairman Jim Crane and his wife Whitney Crane said in a statement. “There is a lot still unknown as recovery efforts are ongoing, but the Astros are committed to supporting Central Texas communities in the long term through the coming days, months and years to help rebuild and heal. We also want to acknowledge and personally thank all of the First Responders for their continued heroic efforts.”

The NFL’s Houston Texans and Dallas Cowboys announced over the weekend that they each are donating $500,000 to recovery efforts.

Camp Mystic, in the community of Hunt in Kerr County, is a Christian girls camp that opened in 1926.
