The death this month of Steve McNair, the former NFL quarterback, could put an end to the work of his charity, which has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for hurricane relief, football camps for at-risk teenagers, and other causes, reports the Associated Press.

Don Weatherall, who helped Mr. McNair run the organization, said it is too soon to tell whether the group can continue. Police said Mr. McNair was fatally shot July 4 in Nashville by his mistress, who then killed herself.
