Names like Michael Rubin, Kevin Hart and Travis Scott joined the former Buccaneers QB for the Fanatics event. The quartet of famous faces gathered on short notice for the gala, organized in support of the REFORM Alliance. Additionally, the event featured performances by A-list musicians like Scott, Quavo and Lil Baby, entertaining about 200 attendees. The store owner Jon Riffle told TMZ that he was ecstatic at the turnout, especially as the kids seemed happy.
“I did not expect the turnout. We were notified on short notice. We talked to the kids and got them involved. The smiles on these kids’ faces. The experience of trading their own cards with an athlete and celebrity is an experience they’ll probably never have again.”
The event was a success with performances from Fat Joe, Fabolous as well as Lol Durk also making it super special. The joy of the kids and the unique experience of trading cards with their favorite stars was cherished by all.
