Reposted on: 24.12.15 2024.47 | Miami Heat star Dwayne Wade, the leading scorer in the NBA this season, donated a house, complete with furnishings, clothing and Christmas gifts, to a South Florida family displaced by a fire a few weeks ago.
Now there is a class act if ever there was one. That's the kind of thing sports stars and celebrities should be doing with their money. | Promote this thread! |             | StingArmy

Reposted on: 24.12.15 2217.50 | Pretty damn awesome of him to do this, but I wouldn't go as far as saying anybody SHOULD be giving their money away to anybody. Sure, maybe don't buy $10 mil in chains and watches every year, but I'm not gonna EXPECT anybody to be donating houses either. That's not what charity is about.

Reposted on: 26.12.15 0038.10 | | Definitely nice of Wade to help out the family. But he's not the first one I have heard that has done this. I remember reading that every year during Xmas in Atlanta and Tampa Bay, Warrick Dunn gives away several houses to struggling families with single parents. I believe it's supposed to be in honor of his mother, a cop who was killed in the line of duty. | | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
