Sports stars Dwyane Wade, Alonzo Mourning, LeBron James, Chris Paul, Gilbert Arenas, Michael Beasley, Terrell Owens, Randy Moss and Michael Vick have donated $1 million to Haiti's relief efforts. The American Red Cross says the Haiti relief ads that ran during last weekend's NFL games generated $500,000 an hour in donations.South Dakota State basketball coach Scott Nagy plans to coach barefoot this weekend to raise money and awareness for Haiti's relief effort. His adopted daughter is from Petionville, near the quake's epicenter. Nagy hasn't been able to contact the girl's mother since the quake last Tuesday. Samaritan's Feet, a charitable organization based in Charlotte, will help distribute the shoes. Nagy's goal is to help collect $30,000 and 2,000 pairs of shoes.
