The Los Angeles Clippers will donate all proceeds from their Oct. 8 preseason game against the Utah Jazz to relief efforts in Maui, the team announced Wednesday.

The Clippers are set to hold their training camp in Hawaii and will play their preseason opener against Utah at Honolulu's SimpliFi Arena. The franchise was previously among 11 Los Angeles-based teams to donate $450,000 to the Red Cross for relief across Maui, which has been ravaged by wildfires.

More than 1,000 people remain missing in Lahaina amid the wildfires, which have led to over 100 confirmed deaths and at least $4 billion in damages. It is one of the deadliest wildfires in recorded United States history.
