NBA: Miami Heat to give $1 million to Yolanda relief efforts Billionaire Micky Arison owns the Miami Heat and also serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Carnival Corporation, the world’s largest cruise company, but he still knows how to extend a big helping hand. Through the Heat team and the Carnival Corporation, the 64-year-old Arison vowed Tuesday (Wednesday, Manila time) to donate at least $1 million in support of relief, recovery and restoration efforts in hard-hit areas of the Visayas following the devastation made by Super Typhoon “Yolanda” (known internationally as “Haiyan”) last week. All of us at Carnival and the Miami Heat extend our deepest sympathy to the Philippines and its people, Arison was quoted as saying by Charlie McCarthy of foxsportsflorida. The typhoon in the Philippines has caused massive destruction, and is having a tragic impact on people and families, including those members of our extended Carnival family who reside in the region. “We are in the process of evaluating a variety of worthy organizations that are doing fantastic work in the Philippines. In addition to providing financial support for relief efforts, our collective thoughts and prayers are with all of those who have been impacted,” added Arison, who has an estimated net worth of $5.9 billion as of September, 2013, according to forbes. ph.news.yahoo/nba--nba--miami-heat-give--1-million-to-yolanda-relief-efforts-090314948.html
