LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Kentucky men's basketball head coach John Calipari is helping the Red Cross raise money for flood victims.

Calipari said Friday he and his wife will donate up to $50,000 to the relief fund.

The Kentucky chapter has started a Kentucky Flood Relief Fund. It already has more than 60 trained disaster workers helping out, and they've given shelter to 180 people displaced from their homes.

If you'd like to help, you can. Just call 855-999-GIVE (4483) or go online to redcross.org. The fundraiser ends at 8 p.m. Friday

All donations given will be used to help those affected by flooding in the state.
