The Sacramento Kings and two rookie players with ties to the Houston area plan to help raise funds for the American Red Cross to aid those affected by Hurricane Harvey.
Beginning Tuesday morning, the Kings’ staff will serve as American Red Cross volunteers and will make more than 5,000 phone calls to help raise funds that will directly benefit Gulf Coast communities, the team announced in a news release. The Kings will also call fans to donate as they purchase game tickets for the 2017-18 season.
Lord be with Houston!! #Praying
