How much money did Kyler Murray donate? Cardinals QB makes huge donation to Texas mall shooting victim
Kyler Murray signed a five-year, $230 million extension with Arizona Cardinals, which will take effect in 2024. However, he still gets a considerable sum in 2023 because the Cardinals exercised their fifth-year option.
The former Oklahoma standout isn’t wasting time supporting worthy causes with his wealth. He recently donated $15,000 to a GoFundMe page for six-year-old William Cho. Cho is the only surviving family member after losing his parents and brother during the recent mass shooting in Allen, Texas.
Murray, an alumnus of Allen High School, posted on his Twitter account:
“This is sickening. Prayers to the mass shooting victims in Allen, Texas. If there is anyway I can help those affected by this tragedy, please let me know. When is this sh*t gonna stop?”

Hence, Murray donated the amount to William, who lost his parents, Cindy and Kyu, and his younger brother in the gruesome mass shooting incident last May 6.
Meanwhile, the Arizona Cardinals also shared the link to the GoFundMe page on Twitter.

It’s not the first time Kyler Murray has taken action to help people in need. In 2021, he donated 60,000 meals to the North Texas Food Bank to aid people in distress during the winter storms.
A year later, the two-time Pro Bowler donated $20,000 to Arizona youth organizations Boys and Girls Club of the Valley and the Arizona Educational Foundation.

Aside from Kyler Murray, many other NFL players who donned the Allen Eagles uniform are in disbelief at what happened in their hometown.

Allen High School is home to an 18,000-seat stadium that cost nearly $60 million. It was opened in 2012 and is the largest high school football stadium for one team. It is also the fifth-largest high school football stadium in the United States.
Kyler Murray and other Eagles players were able to enjoy its weight room and indoor golfing facility. The structure is so impressive that ESPN dubbed it “the palace of high school football.”
