Just hours after Jerry Jones donated a million dollars to a school damaged by a tornado, Shark Tank host and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban tweeted he would match Jones' donation. Cuban said, "Well done Jerry !!! I'll match your generosity !"
Jones donated one-million-dollars to Jefferson High school after a storm destroyed the campus last week. The school district was forced to move students to the old Thomas Edison Middle School, in the midst of their homecoming week. Others have also pitched in, Southern Methodist University donated football equipment after Jefferson High's was destroyed so they could play in their homecoming game.
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson tweeted, "Just heard great news from @markcuban. He will add $1 million to his initial $100k contribution to the Dallas Education Foundation! Thank you, Mark, for this extremely generous gift for @dallasschools students! It will be a major boon to our city’s recovery from Sunday’s tornado."
