Mike Cragg, Duke’s Associate AD for Basketball and Director of the Legacy Fund, checked in from Macau!
I thought you would be fired up to know that we are getting ready for another Duke event here prior to and after the U.S. exhibition game with Lithuania on Friday night. It will wrap up our three games of fun with Team USA.
Last week in Las Vegas we had a great Legacy Fund dinner and Alumni event around the U.S. victory over Canada. About 150 people came to the post game Alumni event hosted by George Dorfman. Deputy Commissioner of the NBA and Duke graduate Adam Silver also dropped in to hear Steve Wojciechowski and Kevin White speak to the group.
Here in Macau, I’m with Bob Shepard and Bob Booth and we are hosting some 70 Duke alums, donors, parents and students! Coach K is meeting with the group after the game. We have people coming in from all over Asia and India and one Duke alum from St. Louis.
Very exciting to see the Duke contingent spanning the globe!
Just thinking of everyone back home and wanted to say Go Duke!
Also – Jason Williams is here with 24 Hour Fitness – a U.S. team sponsor. He’s also going to come by the Duke event as will our coaches. Great stuff…
Best to all…
Mike
