Gasol gives for a good cause

Pau Gasol will donate $1,000 for every point he scores in Friday’s game against the Clippers to a charity providing relief to victims of the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Gasol is one of 20 NBA players, including his younger brother, Marc of the Memphis Grizzlies and Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose, who are participating in the relief effort. If you want to help the effort, you can donate to the Japan Relief and Recovery Fund at www.directrelief.org/Japanrelief or text Give10 to 20222 to give $10.
