The Los Angeles Lakers also contributed $150,000 that was accepted by the Jr. NBA Philippines All-Stars when they visited LA as part of their NBA Experience trip last November 2013.

NBA legend Derrick Alston and WNBA legend Allison Feaster visited Leyte and Cebu City last August to donate books and basketballs, and participated in school construction and tree-planting activities.
