Aaron Rodgers is giving back to California high schools impacted by the 2018 wildfires in the state.

The Green Bay Packers quarterback donated 375 football helmets to Chico High School, Paradise High School, and his alma mater, Pleasant Valley High School, according to WBAY. The helmets are all VICIS Zero1, which has been the top-ranked model in NFL safety testing for the past three years.

"I have been the head coach now for eight years and not one time have I ever had to ask Aaron for anything," Pleasant Valley coach Mark Cooley said.

"He calls or texts every year and says, 'Coach, here is what I would like to do this year, is that OK?' He does so much for our school and community that most people have no idea regarding the contributions he has made! He never asks for recognition. I think it is important that everyone knows what a positive impact he is having on the lives of our student-athletes."

Rodgers previously donated $1 million to help with wildfire recovery efforts.
