Football meets philanthropy on Friday, January 31, 2020, with “The Century Celebration,” an event featuring, celebrating and honoring the Top 100 NFL Hall of Famers and Legends, including but not limited to: Ray Lewis, Deion Sanders, Jim Brown, Jerome Bettis, Joe Montana, Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith, Marcus Allen, Devin Hester, Brian Dawkins, Ed Reed and many more.
Presented by NFL Hall of Famer and Top 100 Player Ray Lewis, with the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood as the presenting sponsor, this star-studded fundraising event proudly supports the Ray of Hope Foundation, an organization dedicated to uplifting those in direct need through sharing personalized videos—”rays of hope”—from the many luminaries and game-changers who support our charitable purpose. A portion of the proceeds from this amazing event, with the aid of the Ray of Hope Foundation, will help benefit those who are facing hardships.
“This event highlights the excitement of where I’m starting to move in the second half of my life, understanding my greatest asset is access because of my reputation, because of my name, because of my brand. I want to use it to bring people together to impact one billion lives. This is the reason I am hosting the Century Celebration,” said Ray Lewis.
“Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood is proud to be the presenting sponsor of this star-studded event,” said Hard Rock International Chairman Jim Allen. “We are pleased to host another important celebrity-oriented charity event at the Guitar Hotel in advance of the big game at Hard Rock Stadium.”
The event is also supported by VaynerSports, the sports agency co-founded by serial entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk and his brother, AJ.
“I’m humbled to partner with Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood and Ray Lewis for this incredible fundraising event,” said Gary Vaynerchuk.
Added AJ, “I have aspirations for our agency to represent the future football greats and it’s an honor to be a part of this event celebrating the current all-time legends.”
The Century Celebration will feature customized experiences including a cigar terrace hosted by Cigar Aficionado, tasting by Louis XIII, live entertainment and exclusive auction items. Media partner Haute Living has curated some of the event’s exclusive partners, such as Louis XIII and XO Jets. “Haute Living is honored to be a part of such a prestigious celebration and it’s extra special to us for it to be hosted in our hometown,” stated Kamal Hotchandani, Haute Living CEO.
