Bucks coach Don Nelson helps family facing foreclosure
Milwaukee Bucks coach Don Nelson answered a farmer's late March letter asking for help with a 313 acre Wiscon sin Brown Swiss dairy herd and mortgage. Nelson donated his share of playoff money totaling about 11 thousand six hundred sixty six dollars and arranged a rep to assist, delaying foreclosure to June. The gesture followed personal notes and a family photo later shown on national TV.

Bucks donate playoff money aid Wisconsin farm couple
Clarence and Mary Willcome, longtime Bucks fans, benefited when coach Don Nelson donated his playoff share to help them save their dairy farm. Facing debt and bankruptcy since 1983 after nitrate-poisoned cattle and a fraud bout with a Rhode Island bank, they counted on Nelson’s gesture and public attention to stabilize their 25 cow operation and rising herd.
