Quote: | Dwyane Wade creates tie, sale proceeds benefit Craig Sager’s foundation
Sager Strong.
Despite undergoing chemotherapy to battle the acute myeloid leukemia that has returned to his body, Sager has been a sideline reporter for TNT through these playoffs and the Western Conference Finals, doing as many games as he can. He’s been an inspiration to everyone in the business, and to fans. Dwight Howard put together a blood drive in his honor.
Now, Dwyane Wade has partnered with The Tie Rack, creating a tie where the proceeds of the sale go the SAGERSTRONG Foundation, created by Sager.

Here's the Dwyane Wade "Craig Sager" tie:

From the Tie Rack page:
Proceeds from the sale of this tie will be donated directly to the SAGERSTRONG Foundation, Inc., founded in support of TNT sports personality Craig Sager. SAGERSTRONG works with various charitable partners to support the treatment of those suffering from blood cancers and AML.
“Together, we can play defense on cancer, one tie at a time.” Much love, Dwyane Wade.
The tie sells for $25 (and you can get a matching pocket square for $15). If you wear ties, you can join me in picking one up and helping out a good cause.

Quote: | ESPYS to honor TNT's Craig Sager with Jimmy V Perseverance Award
Turner Sports reporter Craig Sager has been selected to receive the Jimmy V Perseverance Award at The ESPYS in July.
Sager, a 34-year Turner veteran and popular TNT sideline reporter known for wearing flashy suits, has continued to work as he battles a recurrence of the leukemia he has been battling for the last few years.
"When I was diagnosed with cancer, like so many other people, my life changed forever," Sager said in a statement Monday. "Over the last two years, I've done everything in my power to live my life as normally as possible. But at times, you need support and I'm so thankful to everyone who has been there for me."
Sager, 64, will be presented the award at the 24th annual ESPYS, which will air live on ABC on July 13 from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. |

Bob Sager is set to work a ESPN/Finals game for the first time ever. Nice gesture for ESPN/TNT to allow this |
