NFL players wash cars at Seminole Coconut Creek
NFL alumni and current NFL cheerleaders will wash cars for charity from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek west parking lot.
Cost is $10 per car, $20 per truck. The casino is giving $10 in free play back.
Among the players:
Bobby Harden, Dolphins safety from 1990-93; Kerry Glenn, Jets and Dolphins from 1985-92; Dwight Stephenson, Dolphins from 1980 - 87; John Harris, former safety with the Vikings and Seahawks, and Larry Ball, from the 1972 team, which you might have heard of their place in history.
Donations go to the non-profit NFL Alumni Association’s Caring for Kids program.
Based in Fort Lauderdale and composed mostly of former NFL players, the association operates under the motto “Caring For Kids.”
And, just to make sure you know: the players are 'former.' The cheerleaders are current.
A good mix.
NICK SORTAL began playing 3-card "gut" and "Indian poker" on high school band trips, moved on to "night baseball" and "pass the trash" during a Dr. Pepper-infused midnight game in the 1980s at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and now play in a regular neighborhood Hold 'Em game in Plantation. I have been given the assignment of writing about the gambling life in South Florida casinos for the Sun-Sentinel...which means sitting around watching poker on TV now counts as research.
