Bill Self, University of Kansas basketball coach, runs an organization where you can give a $5 donation to his Assists Foundation which raises money for a shopping trip Kansas players and staff take each winter to buy gifts and necessities for needy families over the holidays. What does the $5 get you other than the satisfaction of donating to a charitable organization? It enters you in a raffle to have Self leave a custom-made voicemail greeting on your phone. A fantastic idea that got us thinking, what sports personalities would we want as our voicemail greeting. Well, here is a sampling of the ones we are prepared to buy a raffle ticket for:
