Ron Artest Raffles Off Championship Ring
December 27th, 2010 | Posted by Queen of Sports in Basketball,Charity
A nasty loss to the Miami Heat couldn’t spoil Los Angeles Laker Ron Artest‘s mood on Christmas. Following the game, Ron and comedian George Lopez hosted a get together at the Conga Room at LA Live where Ron awarded the raffle winner with his championship ring.
The total funds raised in the raffle was $651,000 that will all go toward Xcel University charity to bring awareness to and help those with mental health issues.
The ring was won by Raymond Mikkael, a father of four from Hawthorne, Calif.
“It’s a good feeling, because it got a lot of publicity, and that’s cool,” Ron told the media before the game. “I’m glad we can start over now and do some more work with charities.”
Here’s a video of the presentation:
