INCLUDING A FORMER YANKEES STAR
ARE TRYING TO HELP FROM AFAR.
CBS 2'S VANESSA MURDOCH HAS
THAT STORY.
Reporter: FANS DIDN'T
HESITATE STEPPING UP FOR A
PICTURE WITH THE GREAT ONE.
SO YOU JUST TOOK A PHOTO WITH
MARIANO RIVERA.
WE WANTED TO DONATE WATER
FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE
HURRICANE.
Reporter: HUNDREDS OF OTHERS
SHOWED UP TOO AT THIS DONATION
DRIVE AT A SPORTS SHOP IN NEW
ROCHELLE PILING UP LOVE AND
NECESSITIES FOR THE PEOPLE OF
MEXICO, CARIBBEAN AND PUERTO
RICO STILL DEVASTATED AFTER
HURRICANES AND EARTHQUAKE.
EVERYTHING, WATER, DIAPERS,
PEOPLE IN NEED. AND WE CANNOT
BE TALKING ABOUT RACE OR
HISPANICS OR WHITE OR BLUE.
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
THEY ARE PEOPLE!
THEY DON'T HAVE ANY WATER
AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY
ELECTRICITY.
Reporter: THE FAMILY DROPPED
OFF TOOTHPASTE, CANNED GOODS,
MOM LOOKING FOR A WAY TO GIVE
BACK.
FOR THEM TO UNDERSTAND THAT
THERE'S A NEED AND THAT YOU CAN
HELP.
Reporter: OF COURSE, THERE
WAS THIS ADDED BONUS.
WE JUST, LIKE, MET MARIANO
RIVERA.
AND --
Reporter: IS THAT EXCITING?
YEAH!
Reporter: STEINER SPORTS
MARKETING'S CEO BRANDON STEINER
SAYS HIS EMPLOYEES PUSHED HIM
TO HELP MAKE THIS DRIVE A GO.
THEY ALL CAME UP TO MY
OFFICE WHICH IS A RARITY AND
WANTED TO KNOW WHAT ARE WE
DOING?
Reporter: NOW BATTERIES,
BOTTLED WATER AND OTHER
NECESSITIES TAKE THE PLACE OF
SPORTS MEMORABILIA.
