The Charles D. Smith Foundation was offering to provide New York Knicks tickets for Jean Fredriecks of the Carolina House charity so she could sell them and raise money.

Fredericks, who runs children's programs for the Caroline House is not alone. At least two other people — one who used tickets to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association — are also waiting for their prizes."

"Charles Smith, a former Knicks basketball player who founded the organization that bears his name, said late last week he had just become aware of the missing tickets and was taking immediate steps to get tickets to whom they are owed. "They have to come by and get the tickets. I gave them to the organization and left it up to them to make sure it was done. Now I have taken it upon myself to deal with it," Smith said.

JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

"The tickets from the knicks have not been forthcoming.
Three invoices included in a stack of internal Smith Foundation documents obtained by the Connecticut Post indicate Smith purchased tickets through his company, Charles Smith Enterprises, and sold them to the Charles Smith Foundation.

One invoice, dated March of 2006, is for $9,900, and indicates a $4,950 payment had been made, leaving a balance due of $4,950. The invoice states "New York Knicks 2005-2006 Season Tickets, basketball games @ Madison Square Garden."

An identical 2005 invoice said the foundation owed $2,000 for those tickets, and a 2004 invoice sought $1,500 for tickets.

Smith said he purchases the tickets at a special rate only available to former players and is reimbursed by the foundation for his costs.
