Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter has pledged to donate $10,000 for each home run he hits the rest of this season to aid relief efforts in Houston in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey.
From now till the rest of the season we will donate 10,000 dollars for every Homerun I hit to help aid the relief efforts in Houston

Carpenter joins a list of athletes, including J.J. Watt and others, who are pledging money to help aid in the rescue and relief efforts of those hit hard by the torrential rains of Harvey.
On the season, Matt has hit 17 home runs. If he could hit another seven this year, not only would he match his average over the past two seasons (24), but he would also earn $70,000 for relief aid.
Matt also got help from his teammate, Adam Wainwright, who agreed to match Matt for each homer Carpenter hits the rest of the year.
