 LONGVIEW, TX. (www.nealmccoy.com) - Karl "The Mailman" Malone, the second-leading scorer in NBA history, presented country star Neal McCoy with a $100,000 check for McCoy's East Texas Angel Network foundation this weekend in Longview, Texas. The basketball star's generosity did not stop there. At auction, his $15,000 winning bid landed him a limited edition Leroy Neiman signed lithograph of baseball legend Nolan Ryan . Retired Gen. Tommy Franks also made the trip to McCoy's tenth annual charity event and took command of the sponsor's dinner by jumping on stage and doing an improptu auctioning of McCoy's trademark snug-fitting Wrangler's. The jeans fetched $10,000 for the charity committed to enhancing the lives of East Texas children living with terminal or life-threatening diseases. Bryan White, who revealed that he played tamborine on the recording of McCoy's hit song "The Shake," Charley Pride, Kevin Sharp, songwriters Gary Burr and Leslie Satcher, and " Jungle" Jack Hanna, were among the other special guests in attendance. https://www.nealmccoy.com
