THE
HOLLYWOOD ALLSTARS NEW YORK ALL-STARS CELEBRITY SPORTS WEEKEND FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
On
Saturday, August 27th, the world famous Hollywood Allstars Celebrity Softball
Team will travel to Long Island and challenge a team of well known New York Celebrity
All-Stars in an exciting nine inning Celebrity Game at beautiful 6,000 seat CITIBANK
PARK, home of the Long Island Ducks in Central Islip on Long Island. At least
22-24 well-known entertainment personalities will donate their time to attend
and or participate in various Celebrity Game activities, which have been scheduled
in support of hundreds of Long
Island Fire Fighters. Several Long Island Fire
Fighters will volunteer in a variety of ways and help us raise several thousand
dollars for the Burn Center at Stony Brook University Hospital.
This unique
team of Hollywood Allstars will feature a combination of Television, Film or Music
stars who are better than average athletes and will donate their time a few weekends
each year to play fun, but competitive Celebrity Games in Major and Minor League
Stadiums throughout North America for many worthwhile charities. In July of 1984,
the Hollywood Allstars flew to Edmonton, Alberta and challenged Wayne Gretzky
and his team of Stanley Cup Champion Edmonton Oilers. The Hollywood Allstars have
played at least 7-8 games against the NFL Super Bowl Champions in their home city.
In May of 1994 the Hollywood Allstars challenged a team of INDY 500 drivers as
part of the INDY 500 race weekend festivities and the Hollywood Allstars have
been the invited guests of two sitting Presidents at the White House.
A
few of those celebrities who have confirmed their participation in our Celebrity
Game are actors John Callahan who for over 16 years has been seen as Edmund Grey
on the hit ABC Soap All My Children, William Baldwin who has starred
in several feature films and grew up on Long Island just a few
miles from Central
Islip, Tom Cavanagh who entertained us as ED on the popular NBC primetime series
ED, Chris Noth who is known as Mr. Big to millions of Sex in
the City viewers and will be seen this fall on the NBC hit Law &
Order, Paul Rudd who starred as Phoebes boyfriend Michael on the NBC
primetime hit Friends, and Jonathan Silverman who has starred in many
feature films such as Weekend at Bernies on Broadway in Brighton
Beach Memoirs and in his own NBC hit television series The Single
Guy.
These are just a few of over 20 well known entertainment personalities
who will attend or participate in our nine inning Hollywood Allstars vs. New York
Celebrity All-Stars Softball Game at CITIBANK PARK on Saturday, August 27th. All
