Bid on a Blazer Basketball and Support Street Roots

After my wife, friends and family, I have three passions in life: Music, basketball and housing opportunity. This post combines two of my passions, and opens the door for you to own a basketball signed by the entire Blazer team.


That's right: Get a copy of Brandon Roy's autograph now, sell it 10 years (in time to finance your kids' college tuition), AND help an amazing organization continue its crucial work in P-Town.

Street Roots is a Portland newspaper that focus on issues relating to housing, homelessness and poverty. Beginning today and ending Nov 8, Street Roots is having an on-line auction. Great for holiday gifts, a gift for me in case you forgot my birthday, or even a little something for yourself.

3 reasons I love Street Roots:

• They cover stories often ignored or under-reported in most print and web media
  
• Their standards of journalism far exceed the local mainstream print media here in Oregon, and likely the standards where ever you live
  
• They run a vendor program that allows people who are homeless or very poor the opportunity to earn income.

If that ain't enough to make YOU love Street Roots, check this interview with B-Roy.

So check it out, and help Street Roots make Portland a better place.
