On the way home from the Farm Show last night, I tuned into to the Sixers' game with the Knicks. I wanted to hear the game and also wanted to hear about Samuel Dalembert, who was born in Port-au-Prince and has many relatives there. No doubt playing with a heavy heart, Dalembert was able to put aside the horror going on in his native country and had a good night, with 21 rebounds and 12 points, on 6-for-8 shooting.
At Friday night's game, he will make an initial donation of $100,000 to help relief efforts in Haiti. UNICEF representatives will also be on hand to take donations from fans. For more information or to donate, go to www.dalembertfoundation.org or www.unicefusa.org/hidden/the-nba-supports-unicef-relief-in-Haiti.html. Or call 1.877.AID-HAITI.
