ATHLETES TEAM UP TO HELP HURRICANE KATRINA VICTIMS THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 8, 2005

(For Immediate Release) The devastation is massive and the only thing that can help is equally massive support. Thursday, September 8, 2005 The Greg Buckner Foundation will bring together Denver Nuggets (Greg Buckner, Kenyon Martin and Nene) and Denver Broncos (George Foster, Mike Anderson, Al Wilson, Champ Bailey, Louis Green, and Gerard Warren) players to support the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

KS 107.5 will broadcast live at Club Rise from 6AM – 6PM . During the live broadcast, the Greg Buckner Foundation will be accepting monetary donations, clothing and non-perishable items to support families displaced by Hurricane Katrina tragedy. Denver Nuggets player Kenyon Martin will offer matching funds for all monetary donations raised during this event.

UPDATE - RELIEF EVENT SUCCESS!

OrangeForceOne and OrangeMane members teamed up with the Buckner Foundation to help raise money for roughly 4,000 new members of our community who have relocated to Denver.  The event started at 6:00am and the fundraising continued until 6:00pm.  Alot of much needed cash was raised along with 2 full U-hauls of food, clothes and toys!  There were many members from the Denver Nuggets on hand working directly with volunteers.  Even Mayor Hickenlooper made an appearance to help out!  Special thanks to Chanita Campell who helped coordinate the event, KS107.5 radio for broadcasting the event all day long on the radio, and Club Rise that donated some space, supplies, and funds to the foundation!
