Jordan Gross' Celebrity Kickball Tournament Is this Saturday! - @ChrisHarrisNFL

by ChrisHarris on Apr 16, 2010 12:32 PM EDT

You guys wanna hang out for a little while this weekend? Come on... Say "yes."

If you're gonna be in the Charlotte area this weekend, nix whatever plans you've already planned for yourself and head out to my teammate Jordan Gross' Celebrity Kickball Tournament, benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Jordan's beautiful three year old niece, Brooklyn, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis shortly after her birth in 2005, and him and his wife, Dana, are doing a great job of bringing more awareness to the disease. Unfortunately, there's currently not a cure for CF, but, hopefully by bringing more attention and donation dollars to studies striving to eliminate it, a remedy can be discovered, sooner rather than later.

I can't express to ya enough how pumped I am for this tournament - it's going to be so much fun. Myself, along with Jordan, Steve Smith, Matt Moore, Ryan Kalil, Kenny Moore, and, I'm sure, many others will be out there playing around like little kids. And, you know, I'll probably kick a few homeruns, because - and my Terry Elementary classmates from Little Rock can vouch for me on this - I was the kickball champ back in the day, and there's no way I've lost my skills over the course of the past twenty years.

So come on out, watch the game, grab some autographs, and support a great cause, okay? It's gonna be a big 'ole time.

The game starts at 3pm at Providence High School (1800 Pineville-Matthews Road, Charlotte, NC, 28270), but the gates open at 1:30pm. For more information, visit: KickCF.com

So who's with me!?

AAArrgh!!

My son and I already have a commitment. I would have driven the two hours….

Maybe someone can get the date out earlier next year?

I’ll try and watch the kickcf.com site as well.

Noooo I have to work

But come play kickball in Charleston with us. We play Wednesday nights with the World Kickball Association. Or WAKA.
No I’m serious, we’re adults that play kickball. It is awesome.
