Today President Obama made a very special phone call to
the University of Kentucky Men's Basketball team.
He called to thank and congratulate them on their success
with Hoops for Haiti, a telethon put together by Coach Cal.
The event raised over $1 million for the Haitian people.
A dinner for 6 guests and Ashley Judd at Coach Cal's house
raked in over $100,000 on EBAY. It is great to see the
basketball team being successful on and off the court. Go Cats!!
Below is a picture Coach Cal tweeted of him and the team talking

I'm still a Cal-hater, bitter Tiger fan here, but they raised alot of money and that's awesome!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow very cool! Way to go Cats!
ReplyDeleteSo cool!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Kentucky on coming up with that fundraising idea! Haiti could really use every dollar that was raised. Recovering from a catastrophic event like the earthquake will take several months, if not years.
ReplyDeleteBahaha your post about how girls see the superbowl was dead on! Hope you're well! xoe
