Kansas City will begin preparations to welcome the host of celebrities coming out to raise awareness for The Clay Johnson Foundation and their plans to have a little fun while they are there.
"Having my colleagues stand up and support my passion, is a feeling I find hard to express." an emotional Clay Johnson notes. "When the NBAE came on board, I knew the youth of Kansas City were going to have a winning opportunity to follow the right path."
The weekend will host a wide array of celebrity filled events that will not only help raise money to get the foundation on its feet, but will invite the Kansas City public out to join in the festivities. Beginning Friday, September 21st, the celebrities will join golf enthusiasts at 'The Deuce" golf course for a fun filled celebrity charity tournament and then head over to the 'Party like a Rock Star' Fashion Show, held at Bartle Hall.
