Porzingis partners with Mavs, Whataburger to make $50K donation in the fight against childhood hunger

The McCloud family could hardly believe the news. For over the past year, they dealt with hardship after hardship and now there was a little ray of sunlight shining on the family.

“When I told them the Mavs Foundation and Whataburger invited them to this event, the mother, Cynthia McCloud, started crying,” said Mita Havlick, who is the Executive Director of the Dallas Education Foundation.

The event was a year-end celebration for the #KrisStops Campaign and the McCloud family – along with their eight children ranging in age from elementary school to college – received a VIP invitation to attend a party at the American Airlines Center practice facility.
