League Notes: Formula E Raises More Than $1M For Charity Foundations

Formula E announced that it has raised more than $1M for its charitable partners ONE DROP and the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation from auctions held at its pre-race gala dinners. The entirety of the money raised will be dedicated to a new safe water access project in Guatemala, funded by both organizations. This project is set to help around 37,000 individuals achieve sustainable safe water access for both drinking and production, accelerating the economic development and quality of life of entire communities (Formula E). ... Australian National Basketball League side Wellington Saints Owner Nick Mills said that poor refereeing standards have "killed his passion for basketball." The Saints lost the NBL final to the Southland Sharks on Sunday, a 72-68 loss that saw them "on the wrong end of a 20-10 foul count." Mills said his 30-year ownership of the team "could be drawing to a close." Mills: "The standard of refereeing in our league is absolutely knocking the stuffing out of me and killing my passion for the game and it's not on last night, it's on the last couple of years" (STUFF, 7/7).
