Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers donates $1 million to California fire victims

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is donating $1 million to help Californians recover from the devastating Camp Fire.

Rodgers tweeted a video Wednesday morning and solicited contributions from others. 

"All the money goes to a great organization for the immediate needs and the recovery efforts for the #CampFireParadise," he said in the tweet.

At least 81 people have died and hundreds are reported missing in the fire that has raged north of Sacramento. 

The Camp Fire has claimed nearly three times as many lives and structures than any other wildfire in the state's history.

"In northern California where I was born and raised, the city of Paradise burned to the ground and many of the residents who got out are now displaced in my hometown of Chico and across the north state," Rodgers said in the tweet.
