      Also, this weekend’s fundraising events brought several NFL players out to support the Community In Schools of Atlanta. Among them were Chad Jackson of the Denver Broncos, Nate Jones AKA, the super-intellectual, of the Miami Dolphins, and Anthony Henry, AKA Black of the Detroit Lions. Individually involved in community efforts of their own, Jackson, Jones, and Henry were enthusiastic contributors to CIS’ endeavors to support Atlanta based youth.

      “I’m always down to give back to the community and the kids. The kids look up to athletes and guys like us, so it’s always good to show your face at events like this,” Jackson said of the CIS fundraising dinner, held at the tres chic, Hotel Palomar.

      “I give and help, whatever it is. I have such a global perspective and I do a lot of traveling,” said Jones who talked about his expanse of travel, from South Africa to Brazil.

      “You enjoy the vacation, but you see things from a worldly perspective: poverty, hunger, disease, and other issues,” Jones continued.

      Henry, a native of Fort Myers, has previously had his own charitable foundation, but continues to support youth by working with his former high school coach to send youth to Fellowship of Christian Athletes’ camps.

      In partnership with the 2nd Annual NFL Back 2 Camp Charity Weekend, Ligatt Security/Spoofem.com presented two (2) $15,000 scholarships and two brand new laptops for students.

      In other ATL news, the film world marked the 20 year anniversary of Spike Lee’s film, “Do the Right Thing.” One of Lee’s high profile actresses, Joi Lee was seen in and about town.

      As for down-time enjoyable foodies, there was Gladys Knight’s restaurant and Mary Mac’s Tea Room, which both had soul food specialties that must be Atlanta exclusives, or at least, Atlanta specialties.

      This fall EURweb will check back in with Chad Jackson and Nate Jones who were two of the most impressive in the realm of the celebrated and the celebrators.
