Lakers big man Pau Gasol told CrowdRise.com for every point he scores on Friday against the Golden State Warriors he will donate $1,000 to the Phillipines relief fund.

"Children are suffering in the Philippines" Gasol said. "I am helping UNICEF raise money for their efforts on the ground...I am pledging $1,000 for every point I score at the Lakers game on Friday (November 22nd) to The U.S. Fund for UNICEF."

His chartiable act inspired Phil Jackson to join in too:

Gasol is averaging 13 points per game. He scored 12 points against the Warriors the last time the Lakers played them in the second game of the season.
