Mitch has rounded up a few of his entertaining pals to join in the festivities virtually including…
Kate Hudson is a Golden Globe Award winner and Academy Award-nominated actress, producer, entrepreneur, and bestselling author. She is best known for her roles in “Almost Famous,” “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” and “Bride Wars,” which she also produced, and was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance in “Music.” In 2013, she co-founded Fabletics, a global active lifestyle brand with a mission to offer premium activewear at an accessible price.
Bradley Whitford is a classically trained stage actor who quickly gained fame on NBC’s “The West Wing.” One of the few actors working successfully and simultaneously in theater, film, and television, Whitford is one of Hollywood’s most sought-after talents. In 2019, he was awarded the Primetime Emmy Award for his work as Commander Lawrence, the architect of Gilead’s economy, in the third season of Hulu’s Emmy-winning series, “The Handmaid’s Tale.”
Barry Sanders is regarded as one of the greatest running backs in NFL history and in 2019 was named to the NFL All-Time Time as one of the great 100 players of all time. The Heisman Trophy-winning, All-American, Pro Football, and College Football Hall of Famer played 10 seasons with the Detroit Lions. He won the MVP award in 1997 for rushing more than 2000 yards in one season.
Bernie Smilovitz is an American award winning journalist working as the Sports Director and anchor at WDIV-TV in Detroit. Since 1986, Bernie has entertained Metro Detroiters with his humorous take on sports, while breaking and reporting on cutting-edge sports stories.
This event is guaranteed to make your smile and fill your heart with happiness. The frivolity is all for a great cause as we raise money for the Have Faith Haiti Mission college scholarship fund in partnership with the Michigan Colleges Alliance.
