As an Australian, and with family and friends in the region, Mills felt compelled to rally his teammates and the Trailblazer administration to pitch in, dig deep and help out.
As a result, there will be a bucket handed around at each Portland Trailblazers home game throughout the month of January.
In addition to that, a big silent auction will be held in Portland on Australia Day, where a number of Boomers/Patty Mills items of basketball memorabilia will be sold, with all proceeds going to the Queensland Flood Appeal.
