Athletes in Support of Hati

The 7.0 earthquake that ravished Hati on Tuesday has seen an outpouring of support from across the U.S. People are usually quick to point a finger at celebs and athletes to ask what they’re doing to make a difference in times of crisis, I just wanted to take a moment to salute the following people and organizations for their swift support. There are more than 3 million victims  half of them are children, in one of the poorest nations in the Caribbean. 

The NBA has teamed up with UNICEF
