Dana White, president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), has long been a vocal supporter of law enforcement and military personnel, using his platform to provide substantial aid to families and communities affected by tragedy. His philanthropic efforts underscore his commitment to those who serve and protect.
In 2017, following the devastating Las Vegas shooting, White announced that the UFC would donate $1 million to the Las Vegas Victims Fund to support those impacted by the tragedy. This significant contribution provided much-needed relief to victims and their families, exemplifying White’s dedication to his local community.
In April 2024, White further demonstrated his commitment to supporting law enforcement by donating $100,000 to a fundraiser organized by Barstool Sports for the family of Onondaga County (N.Y.) Sheriff Lt. Michael Hoosock, who was killed in the line of duty. White’s generous donation not only provided critical financial assistance to Lt. Hoosock’s family but also inspired additional contributions from the public and other high-profile individuals, amplifying the overall impact of the campaign.
