Ex-NFL Punter Kicks Off Plum Flood Relief Fundraiser

PLUM, PA - Pat McAfee lives in Indiana these days, but his heart clearly remains with his hometown. The Plum High School graduate and former NFL punter is raising money to help Plum recover from Sunday's damaging flash flooding.

"A good bit of my hometown is currently underwater. Flash flooding is wiping out communities and ravaging some areas," McAfee wrote in a Facebook post. "People have had to be rescued from their homes and more damage is looming. No clue what the final toll will be but it's my job to help."

McAfee has created a GoFundMe page and promised to match up to $15,000 in donations. As of Tuesday morning, $3,600 had been pledged.

McAfee, 32, attended West Virginia University and played eight seasons in the NFL with the Indianapolis Colts. McAfee retired from football in February 2017 and since has worked as a football and wrestling analyst and has performed as a stand-up comedian.
