Colts plan to donate for victims in collapse accident

The Indianapolis Colts are intending to make donation to the victims of the Indiana State Fair stage collapse which killed five people and injured dozens of others.

Colts owner Jim Irsay said Thursday that he plans to donate $1 for each ticket distributed at Friday night’s preseason game at home against the Washington Redskins. So the more tickets they get, the more donation will make. There must be a lot of fans cheer up for those wearing Indianapolis Colts jereys and those wearing Washington Redskins jerseys that day.

The fund is intended to help victims and families of those who were killed or injured. The Colts also plan to have a moment of silence before the game and they encourage the fans to make a $10 donation to the fund.

Irsay says the community was “shaken to the core” and calls it a “heartbreaking accident.”

Central Indiana Community Foundation spokesman Mike Knight said a relocated fair concert by Train and Maroon 5 at Conseco Fieldhouse on Thursday was expected raise at least $300,000 for the fund.
