On January 22nd, the After-School All-Stars, the nation’s largest school-based after-school program targeting middle school youth, hosted its third annual charity poker tournament, All-In for All-Stars, at Nobu Miami. The event raised over $450,000 for the charity, which provides comprehensive, after-school programs for 2,000 low-income youth in the most underserved neighborhoods in South Florida and over 70,000 youth nationwide.
Attendees, including actress Vivica A. Fox, former NBA players Ray Allen, Mark Strickland and Alonzo Mourning, Miami Beach Commissioner Michael Grieco, former Major League Baseball player Mike Lowell, and retired NLF linebacker for the New York Jets and Miami native Marvin Jones, gathered to raise the stakes and give back to the charity. Acclaimed comedian Tom Arnold had the guests roaring with laughter during a special comedy act right before a spectacular live auction of exclusive once-in-a-lifetime experiences that raised additional funds for the program.
