NEW YORK - The NBA players’ association said Tuesday it is launching an immediate effort to assist in the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
“We are in the process of contacting every player in the league to solicit their support and ideas on how we can make a difference as quickly as possible,” said union president Antonio Davis of the Chicago Bulls.
The union will help deliver supplies to the hardest hit areas.
“We want to mobilize immediately and provide as much assistance as possible to the tens of thousands of people who find themselves in life threatening situations as a result of this natural disaster,” executive director Bill Hunter said. “Our goal is to collectively raise and contribute at least $1 million in aid to the victims.”
Bulls guard Chris Duhon, from Slidell, La., said he would work with the Federal Emergency Management Agency to try to get financial support, clothing and food.
“This tragic event has destroyed the homes and lives of many people — people I know,” Duhon said. “Many towns are experiencing this devastation and have yet to determine what, if any, buildings will be saved. We have to do something to help ease this burden.”
so it takes a hurricane to help people
That's ridiculous. A lot of NBA players have personal foundations that they devote their time to and raise money for a variety of charities. I think it's great that they are responding to this so quickly.so it takes a hurricane to help people
I think they should not rebuild new orleans
it is to far below sea level
strange thing for a duck to say . . .
Yep, me too. (Why so cynical, ducks? Sheesh!) I think it's a great gesture.
most of the people would not even leave
alot of the people of saturday were trying to make money in the streets and at the bar
and now they expect amarican's to bail them out
I think they should have used their heads and got out they had plenty of warning
the ones that left I would help the other ones I would not unless they could not leave due to healthy reasons
ducks have you ever been to New Orleans? It's a great city...full of mystique, mystery, and history... it's almost like going to another country...it's also one of the oldest cities in the South...
How could you not want to see it rebuilt?
Damn right, if we don't rebuild than the hurricanes will win.
dude I lived in penscola,fl for 5 years
yes I have been to new orleans
IT IS NOT ALL THAT
