Matthew McConaughey announces fundraiser for Texans affected by winter storm

AUSTIN, Texas (KEYE) — Austin's own Matthew McConaughey has announced a fundraiser for Texans affected by the unprecedented winter storm that left millions without power and clean water.

McConaughey’s "just keep livin" foundation is putting together a virtual benefit, scheduled to take place in the next two weeks, to "raise funds for the long-term efforts necessary to stabilize and rebuild Texas."

As most of you know, our founder Matthew McConaughey’s home state of Texas was devastated this week by a catastrophic winter storm that left millions without basic necessities in the midst of the freezing weather. While power has been restored for most, broken water lines and other damage have left many Texans without access to food or clean water.
