The celebrity basketball game was at the famous Staple Center. So many celebrities came out for the event. The kids were so happy and it was a great turn out for charity. Christian Keyes sang the national anthem...that boy can saanngg! I got a chance to meet Juaquin Hawkins, in my opinion he is such a humble guy with a good heart. You can tell this charity is near and dear to his heart. He has such an amazing story, I shared with him that I have a history of stokes in my family. Please visit the website to read it at Juaquin Hawkins Story. I believe in giving back to the community, so when I found out about this charity event I wanted to get involved. I told my clients and they wanted to get involved. I want to give a special shout out to the following for taking time out of their busy schedules: Rashad McCant, Dennis LA White, Kahlil Kain, DJ Eque, Christian Keyes, Mechelle Epps, Ky Ziegler, Dre Bowie, Tyrone Burton and all the other celebrities that came.
I also want to thank; Cheryl Lawson, Juaquin Hawkins and Mary Elizabeth Yoder for giving back.
