Money Surfing
A few links to some of the good things athletes have done this week:
- Caron Butler surprises a teenager at his birthday party. [Washington Post]
- Deuce McAllister works with Nike to donate 13,000 shoes to New Orleans' children. [AP]
- Jason Simmons of the Houston Texans sells his number to Ahman Green for the down payment on a home for a local single-parent. [AP]
- Braylon Edwards sets up a fund for some Cleveland area students, who will get checks for $10,000 if they keep a 2.5 GPA, have no unexcused absences, and do 15 hours of community service. [Cleveland Plain-Dealer]
- Nick Swisher cuts his long hair to donate it to cancer patients. [San Francisco Chronicle]
Always nice to see athletes giving back.
I'll be putting up a post on Ira Newble's contributions for Darfur later today.
