Dallas, TX — In an inspiring act of generosity, Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer has captured the admiration of fans and the broader sports world by announcing the donation of his entire $6.8 million bonus and sponsorship deal to charities and homeless support organizations across the country.
The heartfelt announcement was made earlier today during a press conference at The Star in Frisco, where Schottenheimer emphasized his commitment to using his platform for good.
“I’ve been given more than I ever imagined—not just in football, but in life. It’s time to give back in a way that truly matters,” Schottenheimer said. “No one should have to sleep on the streets or go to bed hungry. If I can help change that for even one person, it’s worth everything.”
The donation will be distributed among a network of organizations, including:
-
The Salvation Army of North Texas
-
Family Gateway
-
Feeding America
-
The Bridge Homeless Recovery Center
-
Youth mentorship and housing support initiatives in Dallas-Fort Worth
Fans across the NFL have reacted with overwhelming praise, calling it one of the most selfless gestures seen in pro sports in years.
“Coach Schotty just proved he’s not only building a winning team—he’s building a legacy of compassion,” one Cowboys fan posted on X (formerly Twitter).
While Schottenheimer’s work with the Cowboys continues to evolve, this incredible gesture has made one thing clear: his impact reaches far beyond the football field.
America’s Team just got a little more legendary. ⭐
