Pace University will hold a charity celebrity dodgeball game Thursday night featuring rap pioneers Grandmaster Melle Mel and Kurtis Blow; Elizabeth Tam, Miss New York of 2012; actress Jill Hennessy and others against members of the U.S. National Dodgeball Team.
The event, set for 6:30 p.m., will benefit Project Share, which aims to feed 1,000 homeless people in New York City and Westchester County on Thanksgiving Day and also provide fleece blankets for them.
Tickets are $25 for the general public, $15 for Pace alumni and $10 for Pace students.
Newsday reported earlier Thursday that Michael Strahan was slated to participate, but hius publicist said later Thursday morning that he is not.
Neil Best first worked at Newsday in 1982, returned in 1985 after a detour to Alaska and has been here since, specializing in high schools, college basketball, the NFL and most recently sports media and business.
