In the context of Texas just experiencing a historic storm, causing heavy devastation and creating hundreds of families in need, six private planes flew from Los Angeles carrying nearly 3 tons of essential food and products, to the places where they were needed most – a touching campaign that moved the community.
What caused a stir was not just the increased volume of support, but when the words “Shohei Ohtani” were prominently displayed on the planes. This symbol made the people and rescue forces in Texas moved to tears—an act that not only saved the hungry but also gave them confidence that they were not abandoned.
The silent support campaign: no reporting, no live broadcast, only businesses and basketball fans who love Ohtani, connecting with local research organizations to ensure food is distributed quickly to the hardest-hit people.
