The
inaugural Las Vegas luxury charity event, The Coach Woodson Las Vegas
Invitational, began its three-day affair with a series of festivities that started
on Sunday, July 20, with appearances by several members of Coach Michael
Woodson’s family and close friends, including actor and comedian Anthony
Anderson, R&B recording artist Brian McKnight, ESPN SportsCenter anchor Jay
Harris, LPGA golfer Seema Sadekar, NBA legends Herb Williams and Reggie Theus,
music executive Chauncey Bell, saxophonist Paul Taylor, comedian George
Willborn, as well as American football stars Bret Lockett and Dale Moss, among
others.
Brian
McKnight took the stage and humorously warmed up the crowd with his own
rendition of “Meet The Flinstones” at the Coach Woodson Las Vegas Invitational
CIROC Welcome Party that took place at the alluring 23rd floor Mandarin Bar at
Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas. He wowed guests as he performed hits by Stevie
Wonder, Marvin Gaye and Michael Jackson alongside several of his own top hits,
“Back At One” and “Anytime.”
To
conclude the three-day affair and to celebrate the end of NBA Summer League,
Coach Woodson corralled his close friends on the fairways for the Inaugural
Coach Woodson Las Vegas Invitational golf tournament at Southern Highlands Golf
Club in Las Vegas.
The
most laughable moment at The Coach Woodson Las Vegas Invitational took place
when actor and Food Network TV host Anthony Anderson initiated a game of
Twister with his teammates. The tangled golfers laughed and collapsed after
Anderson shouted, "Right hand on red!"
The Coach Woodson Las Vegas Invitational will
be the only summer golf event in Las Vegas where influential sports figures and
celebrities congregate. Founded by former NBA player and current assistant
coach of the Los Angeles Clippers, Michael Woodson lives with the mission to
give back to the community through sports and friendship. All for a good cause,
The Coach Woodson Las Vegas Invitational celebrates the world of basketball,
while showcasing the best of golf, fashion and entertainment. For more
