Pau Gasol Will Donate $1,000 To The Philippines For Every Point He Scores Friday

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:
