The Los Angeles Lakers have always been one of the most recognized teams for Filipino fans. And they have dug in into the relief effort for Yolanda.
Earlier today, the team released a statement on their website, which goes as follows:
The Los Angeles Lakers will make a donation to the Philippine Red Cross to assist in the relief efforts for victims of the devastating typhoon that ravaged the eastern and central parts of the country last week.
The Lakers will donate $150,000, as well as give all proceeds from the Lakers Youth Foundation In-Arena Auctions at all Lakers home games between November 12-24, to the Philippine Red Cross.
This is after the NBA and its players made donations to UNICEF and World Vision, and after the Miami Heat (in conjunction with its sister company Carnival Corporation) pledged $1 million.
