The stars play
billiards too |
|
Mowelfund mounts for a cause billiard tourney with
Bata and Django
|
|
By Danny Vibas
It has been common practice to have show-biz idols play basketball,
volleyball, golf and badminton among themselves or with nonshow-biz
sports lovers to raise funds for a good cause. But can a game of
billiards, between say Christopher de Leon and champion Efren Bata
Reyes, attract a crowd of ticket-buying fans of either or both
celebrities?
The answer is most likely yes,
which is why respected show-biz personality Boots Anson Roa thought
of putting up the Pakner 9-Ball Billiard Celebrity Challenge tonight
at Greenhills Promenade’s Teatrino to raise much-needed funds for
the Movie Workers Welfare Foundation, better known as Mowelfund.
Boots serves as the organization’s executive director.
