Jared Goff starts GoFundMe page to raise money for California wildfire relief

Los Angeles Rams quarterback and Bay Area native Jared Goff is stepping up to help those affected by the raging wildfires in Northern California.

A GoFundMe page set up by Goff has raised nearly $30,000 to date, which he says will be donated directly to wildfire survivors through the Sonoma County Fire Account.

"Being from the Bay Area and more specifically the North Bay Area the recent fires in the Sonoma, Napa, and Santa Rosa area have hit literally close to home for me," Goff wrote. "Like many others from the area, I know many families that have been seriously affected by this tragedy by losing loved ones or entire homes. I wanted to start this fund to try and help some of those families and people in need at this time."

Among those who have donated so far is Rams left tackle Andrew Whitworth, who pledged $10,000.
