Laurel D'Antoni, the wife of Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni, was honored during Monday's game at Toyota Center with the inaugural "Partner in Public Education Award" given by the Texas School Public Relations Association for her work spearheading the Rockets Women's Organization in helping Sheldon Independent School District recover from Hurricane Harvey.
The D'Antonis donated to the Sheldon ISD education Foundation to help teachers replace school items lost in the floors. The Rockets Women's Foundation donated backpacks and school supplies and distributed books with the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation. The Association is returning on Tuesday, Laurel D'Antoni said.
