NY Giant Justin Tuck To Host Billiards Game To Raise Money For Kids Literacy

With the support of title sponsor, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, North Hills and premium sponsor SUBWAY® restaurants, New York Giant Justin Tuck will welcome some of the brightest stars in the worlds of entertainment and sports to participate in this exciting and competitive pool tournament for charity!

All proceeds will benefit Tuck’s R.U.S.H. for Literacy, which last year through its first “Sack Challenge” donated over 100,000 toward purchasing new books for underserved children in New York and Central Alabama.

Through Tuck’s Celebrity Billiards and R.U.S.H. for Literacy’s other initiatives, Justin and his wife Lauran strive to encourage children to READ, UNDERSTAND, SUCCEED and HOPE and embrace literacy throughout their lives.

Some celebrities scheduled to appear include Eddie Money, Eli Manning (New York Giants), DJ Irie, Jeanette “The Black Widow” Lee (Billiards champion), Josh Howard (Dallas Mavericks), Kelly Rowland, Laz Alonzo, Mya, Ronnie Lott (retired NFL star), Terry Crews, Vivica A. Fox with Master of Ceremonies Anthony Anderson.
