Speaking of basketball, did you know that Dwight Howard was the leading vote-getter for the NBA All-Star game? He received 1.6 million votes and will start as the Eastern Conference's center for a 5th consecutive year. The Dwight Howard autographed basketball is a wonderful chance to win a highly collectible piece of sports history. Tickets are $5 each or $25 for 6 and only 300 tickets will be sold! The drawing will be held at the end of the GWBF Button Drawing activity on Sunday, February 26th. You need not be present to win.
