Picture it; a red carpet event in the heart of Manhattan, the flashing lights of paparazzi cameras, hunks like Jets QB Mark Sanchez, hotties like Top Chef Host Padma Lakshima, and actors like “Law and Order’s” Anthony Anderson and “90210′s” Tristan Wilds. Chicks in the Huddle got an invite to take a bite out of this big apple scene, hosted by New York Giant Justin Tuck and his wife Lauran. While this might sound like a typical star studded night out shared between millionaires, it was actually a fabulous fundraiser that will help kids across the country get the tools they need to succeed.
The 3rd Annual Tuck’s Celebrity Billiards Tournament raised more than $1 million dollars for the NFL star’s R.U.S.H. for Literacy charity. The goal of the program is to encourage kids to Read, Understand, Succeed, and Hope. Justin and his wife Lauran have used the organization to donate books and other supplies to underprivileged communities in New York and the now tornado ravaged parts of Central Alabama. The tournament has served as a way for them to bring celebrities together for a fun night of trash talking and pool playing, while getting the donations they’ll need to continue their mission.
Check out the video below for an inside look at some of the star-studded fun!

I went to college with Justin and had the pleasure (or displeasure) of hanging with him at a few parties. Interesting guy, to say the least.
