Just got back from Mia and Nomar’s charity game. Headed down there with some of the crew and had a great time. Very important charity and cause and it was nice to see so many people show up to support. Full recap and lots of pictures after the jump.
Nomar’s team in blue
Dunny, Pags and Cobi
Team Fawcett
Hopkins representing team red…Allen was all over the field, even subbing in as goalie in the last quarter (yes, I said quarter and not half…that’s how they did it today)
Pags in action
The legend…nuff said
Halftime was filled with emotions as speeches were given and Mia asked for everyone’s help in regards to becoming part of the bone marrow registry
These guys were introduced to the crowd at halftime. One of them is a father of two who had been incredibly ill and was not given much time to live. The other, is a man who he had never met before but saved his life because he was in the registry and was a match. Pretty amazing to see strangers who have had such a huge impact on one anothers lives, and to see someone that literally saved a man’s life. Pretty inspiring…
Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo taking a little break from the action.
That’s Ryan Sheckler with the shaved head. Wasn’t hard to miss him as he was the only cat wearing sunglasses the entire game.
This kid kept us entertianed the whole game. Future soccer star?
After the game we headed upstairs to fill out some paper work and join the marrow registry and get involved.
Along with filling out the form, we had to swab the inside of our mouths so they can test to see if we are a match for anyone. Somehow I feel some jokes coming my way for this picture…
Made one last stop upstairs in the lounge / bar before heading out. Signed Manchester United and Del Piero jerseys for the auction.
