Jordan Gross' Celebrity Kickball Tournament

[CatMan72]

Posted by Chris Harris over on the Cat Scratch Reader:

You guys wanna hang out for a little while this weekend? Come on... Say "yes."

If you're gonna be in the Charlotte area this weekend, nix whatever plans you've already planned for yourself and head out to my teammate Jordan Gross' Celebrity Kickball Tournament, benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Jordan's beautiful three year old niece, Brooklyn, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis shortly after her birth in 2005, and him and his wife, Dana, are doing a great job of bringing more awareness to the disease. Unfortunately, there's currently not a cure for CF, but, hopefully by bringing more attention and donation dollars to studies striving to eliminate it, a remedy can be discovered, sooner rather than later.

I can't express to ya enough how pumped I am for this tournament - it's going to be so much fun. Myself, along with Jordan, Steve Smith, Matt Moore, Ryan Kalil, Kenny Moore, and, I'm sure, many others will be out there playing around like little kids. And, you know, I'll probably kick a few homeruns, because - and my Terry Elementary classmates from Little Rock can vouch for me on this - I was the kickball champ back in the day, and there's no way I've lost my skills over the course of the past twenty years.

So come on out, watch the game, grab some autographs, and support a great cause, okay? It's gonna be a big 'ole time.

The game starts at 3pm at Providence High School (1800 Pineville-Matthews Road, Charlotte, NC, 28270), but the gates open at 1:30pm. For more information, visit: KickCF.com

LOL, good point!

But he might kick it out of bounds? (okay, that was mean).

I went two years ago and it was a blast. The players are really laid back, will sign and mingle after the game for a bit. They do have an auction where some big money flies and it's all for a great cause.

Unfortunately I can't make it this year, but I'd go every year for sure.

Smitty won the most expensive auction item which as a trip to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii.
