Mutombo and more from the Sports Philanthropy Forum

As shot by Dr. Hoops and Fb-posted by Laura, various members of the Gannet philanthropy team with Dikembe Mutombo at the sports forum.

I noted the day last week, but more links: USA TODAY Kindness leader Christie Garton writing on the panel of Mutombo, Bob Lanier and Pat LaFontaine and Page 3.0 chief Mike Bambach with a take on the same. Word is videos of the athlete, cause and league panels are coming.

A few others:
-USA Weekend remembers Mutombo as Most Caring Athlete
-One attendee "moved and inspired" by the athlete panel
-Brian Reich, leader of the cause panel, talks sport as faith
-News of a Nike initiative out of networking at the Forum
