President Obama Calls Kentucky



President Obama called the University of Kentucky Men's Basketball Program and thanks them for doing 'Hoops for Haiti'. He said he was honored to speak to the #1 team in the Country, but his main purpose was to thank them for raising a little bit more than $1 million for the earthquake that hit Haiti on Jan. 12.

"I'm still nervous and shocked about it right now," Wall said minutes after President Obama called the Wildcats to commend their efforts for their 'Hoops for Haiti' last week.

  1. Great job Kentucky on coming up with that fundraising idea! Haiti could really use every dollar that was raised. Recovering from a catastrophic event like the earthquake will take several months, if not years.
