This week was a busy one for Heat players, who enjoying the last bit of summer before their season begins early next month. Dwyane Wade was in Providenciales in the Turks & Caicos to film a PSA by Gil Green and join his Wade’s World Foundation together with The Sandals Foundation (the philanthropic arm of Sandals Resorts International) to help kids on the island. Would-be philanthropists can now donate funds to Game Changer, an integrated sports program to benefit youth in underserved communities in South Florida and the Caribbean, by going on the resort’s site, or texting GAME to 41444. Giving has never been easier.

Later, Bosh hosted a live auction featuring signed sports memorabilia along with Channel 7’s sports anchor Mike DiPasquale. The auction benefitted Bosh’s Team Tomorrow, which supports community-bast organizations to “uplift children, families and communities.”
