A Jury Awarded Them 4 Cents. Mike Evans Gave Them $11K

A wide receiver who just scored an $82 million contract extension is helping a family that was recently awarded 4 cents, ESPN reports. Mike Evans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers donated $11,000 Saturday to the family of a man who was shot dead by a Florida sheriff's deputy in 2014. The family of Gregory Hill filed a wrongful death suit, and a jury ruled in May that Hill was 99% responsible for his death and the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office only 1%—so the family received 1% of a $4 reward, TCPalm reported at the time. Evans vowed when signing his March contract renewal to help people out. "It's hard to put into words," he said. "With my actions you'll see it." Evans' donation pushed the Hill family's GoFundMe page to nearly $100,000. (More charity stories.)
