DALLAS — Dallas Mavericks owner Mark
Cuban announced Wednesday that he will match
up to $1 million in donations to a fund his foun
dation created to help families of U.S. military
personnel killed or seriously injured in Iraq.
“The kids, the wives, the
spouses of those who are not
returning, they didn’t sign up
to go to war,” Cuban said dur
ing a news conference. “All
they know is that their loved
ones went to serve their coun
try and didn’t return.”
The money will help fami
lies pay for immediate needs
such as funeral costs, mort
gage payments and other bills, Cuban said.
According to the Pentagon, 125 U.S. military
personnel have died in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Donations can be made via the Web site
www.fallenpatriotfund.org or at branches of Bank
CUBAN
of America, which is starting the account®
matching employee donations from $25 to $51
Dou Hutt, President of Bank of Amen;
Dallas, said the company had about 200emplii]
ees called to active duty.
Cuban said he was moved to start the prop
after watching the names of U.S. casualties strei-
across the bottom of television news programs
“I would sit there with my wife andjuslsa
the names go across and it just didn’t seemrifi
that it was just a name across the ticker on Cafe
News Network (CNN),” Cuban said.
The billionaire said he had been blessed
everything the United States has to offer®
feels oligated to support those putting then
selves in harm’s way. Speaking just a few tar
before the Mavericks’ last regular season
Cuban was careful to point out that the fund*;
not a team endeavor.
‘‘This is something that transcends 4
court,” Cuban said. But he added that he!
the players would contribute.
“I’ll certainly be encouraging them
Cuban said.
