NEW YORK, Oct. 3, 2005 – The combined relief efforts of the NBA family, which includes individual players, the National Basketball Players Association and Women’s National Basketball Players Association, individual owners, teams and both the NBA and WNBA league offices, has exceeded $10 million. On behalf of their efforts, the NBA is recognizing all our players for the September NBA Community Assist Award.
NBA players have already contributed millions of dollars and have assisted in collecting and delivering supplies, food and clothing to benefit those affected by Hurricane Katrina. The NBA and WNBA are making a commitment of $2 million to humanitarian organizations to aid victims of Hurricane Katrina, $1 million of which is pledged to the American Red Cross. As players and teams continue to aid in the relief, the NBPA and WNBPA have joined forces with Feed the Children in Operation Rebound, a multifaceted and on-going effort to provide food and assistance to the victims.
NBA player relief efforts to date include:
The Portland Trail Blazers’ Theo Ratliff donated 12,000 16-ounce bottles of his signature sports drink Rebound Fx to shelters in Biloxi as well as to World Changers Church International and Hosea Feed the Hungry in Atlanta.
