Celebrity Sports Night @ Abilities
Last night I attended Celebrity Sports night @ Abilities in Albertson, Long Island. Darryl Strawberry was honored and he actually helped me raise money during our live auction. Celebrities on hand included John Dockery, John Franco, Sara Hughs, Oksana Baiul, Rod Gilbert, my old NY Islander buddies Clark Gillies, Bobby Nystrom and so many more! Fellow newscasters on hand were Ken Alpert, Len Berman, Alexis Christoforous & Barry Landers.
The night was such a success! We raised over 600k which of course benefits those with disabilties. Please log on to www.abilitiesonline.org to learn more and please make a donation!
