Dallas Cowboys cornerback Brandon Carr is encouraging athletes to help his hometown of Flint, Michigan, amid the city's crisis with lead-tainted water. The Community Foundation of Greater Flint says Carr is donating $100,000 to create the Carr Cares Fund for Flint. Carr released a statement saying he's ''especially concerned about the children of Flint who now, because of lead poisoning, face tremendous adversity for the remainder of their lives.'' He wants the Carr Cares Fund for Flint to be a place where other athletes can make donations online.
