Poker is a popular past time among many of the world’s elite and this includes music stars, movie stars and, of course, top pro athletes. Often, these people will get together to hold charity poker events as a way to earn money for those in less fortunate conditions and have some fun at the same time. An event of this nature is being hosted by one of the National Football League’s big stars, Terrell Thomas. Thomas is a cornerback for the New York Giants NFL team and is noted for many contributions to the different charity events that are a regular part of his work with the NFL. The football pro is now hosting his own all star poker tournament, set to be held at the Ontario Airport Hilton, according to the star’s official blog postings. The charity poker tourney will invite a number of famed NFL and University of Southern California football players to take part. Although the names have not yet been released, insiders report that it is like Thomas’ star power will pull in quite a few big names as he has been able to do in the past when working to raise funds for his Terrell Thomas Charities.
After the all star poker event, Steve Smith, a wide receiver for the New York Giants and team mate of Thomas, will head with a number of other USC football players to a free football camp for youth located in Rancho Cucamonga, California at the local high school which is where Thomas graduated. The camp is hosted by We Are SC and will be open to young people between the ages of 5 and 15.
