Golf journalist Amanda Balionis' foundation has raised over $25,000 to support Hurricane Helene relief. She recently revealed that her nonprofit organization, Puppies and Golf, has raised over $30,000 and also announced the addition of a couple more shelters to the support list.

Amanda Balionis is a popular golf and NFL broadcaster who works with CBS. Recently, when Hurricane Helene wreaked havoc in the Southeastern U.S., causing several casualties, Balionis extended a helping hand through her organization.

On Sunday, October 6, Balionis took to Instagram to thank her followers for their generous donations.

"Thanks to our community’s incredible generosity," she wrote. "We’ve surpassed our $10,000 matching goal, bringing the current total to over $30,000! But we’re not stopping there. There’s still so much more we can do for the people and animals affected by Hurricane Helene."

"We’ve added 2 more shelters to our support list (@fotas_aiken and Augusta Animal Services) and we’re expanding our efforts with in-kind donations in both Atlanta and Charlotte, in partnership with Intown Golf Club. We are so appreciative of the way @intowngolfclub has stepped up and chosen to help us with these efforts!"

Balionis also requested her fans for more donations in different ways.

On Thursday, October 10, Balionis reposted the stories from Puppies and Golf, where they picked up all the donations from Intown Golf Club in Atlanta. The organization also bought several things for Augusta from the money collected via donations.
