THE National Basketball Association announced yesterday that NBA teams and players will donate 1 million yuan (US$162,000) to support earthquake relief efforts in southwest China.
The contributions will be delivered to the China Youth Development Foundation through the league's global social responsibility program, NBA Cares, to aid victims and their families in Lushan County, Sichuan Province, in disaster relief and rebuilding efforts.
The NBA will bring immediate assistance through a CYDF emergency relief program by providing portable classrooms and financial assistance to students from earthquake-damaged schools.
"The NBA, our teams and players are committed to providing support and resources to those in need in the wake of this terrible earthquake," NBA China CEO David Shoemaker said.
