Pau Gasol has always had a soft spot for children. He is one of the myriad of UNICEF Ambassadors, and has always felt the pulse about the Philippines.
With the aftermath of Supertyphoon Yolanda, many institutions have done their share with getting aid into the country. The Spanish big man is also doing his part to raise the necessary funds.
Gasol has pledged to donate $1,000 for every point he scores in their next game, which happens to the Golden State Warriors this Saturday morning, local time. The money will be addressed to the US Fund for UNICEF.
He averaged 14 points last season for the Lakers against the Warriors, and scored 12 in their first meeting this season (a.k.a. the Klay Thompson fireworks escapade).
The bright spot is that Pau's career average against Golden State is 20.3, the highest among the Western Conference teams.
