Volunteer Appreciation Party
Gold Class Cinemas in Allen, TX recently hosted a spectacular night of fun at the movies for the wonderful volunteers who donated their time to make the Inaugural Emmitt Smith Celebrity Invitational such a huge success. Not only was Gold Class Cinemas a "Suite 22" luxury gifting sponsor at the event, they hosted this party and treated the volunteers to delicious food, drinks and a private screening of the Prince of Persia in their signature recliners. Thank you Gold Class Cinemas!

 Emmitt Plays in World Series of Poker for Charity
Thanks to FulltiltPoker.netTwo weeks ago in Las Vegas, Emmitt Smith played in the World Series of Poker Main Event for Pat & Emmitt Smith Charities. He was sponsored by Full Tilt Poker.net, who also sponsored the Inaugural Emmitt Smith Celebrity Invitational Poker Tournament in May featuring Team Full Tilt Pros Phil Ivey, Jennifer Harman and Allen Cunningham. Emmitt was honored by the WSOP with Shuffle Up and Deal duties and made it past the first break on Day 1 only to lose his chips on a full house. There is always next year! |
 Prentice Richmond
Hall of Fame Contest WinnerAs the winner of the Emmitt Smith Trip of Lifetime Contest, Prentice Richmond will travel to Canton, Ohio next month to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival.
"The Hall of Fame induction will be the crowning moment of my career and I want to share that experience with someone whose dreams and goals are as big as mine were growing up and has a plan to chase them." said Emmitt. Prentice won the PESC contest because of his plan to follow in the footsteps of those that have inspired him and become a police officer, studying law enforcement at Texas A&M Commerce this fall.
