Sixteen-year-old golfer Michelle Wie gave a $500,000 check to the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund, then played a round of golf with former President Bill Clinton.
Wie, who turned pro Oct. 5 in her native Hawaii, presented the check to Clinton at the Southern Highlands Golf Club in Las Vegas on Sunday. Images of devastation moved her to donate, she said.
"I just saw clips of it and I really wanted to help out," Wie said. "I really do hope it helps a lot of people. . . . Compared to all the disaster, it's such a little amount of money."
