NFL, NBA and WNBA Athletes Unite for Charity

Five all-star athletes team together at Detroit area event presented by Senior Planning Advisors to create change for generations to come

DEARBORN, Mich., July 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Five current and former NFL, NBA and WNBA athletes will join together in an evening of philanthropy on Friday, July 29, 2022, at The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. The lineup of all-star athletes includes Michael Vick, Diamond Deshields, Charlie Batch, Wendell Carter Jr., and J.R. Redmond. Funds raised will go to their various charities that provide educational programming to underprivileged children, community and leadership programming, environmental and animal rights initiatives, and more. 

The event will include a special VIP meet and greet and live panel discussion, and it is open to registered clients of Senior Planning Advisors. 

The president of Senior Planning Advisors, Kirk Cassidy, said that giving back has always been extremely important to him and his wife, Jessica. Together they have built many national-level charities and raised millions of dollars over the course of their careers—and this is one way to help their clients give back to an area in need.

“While many may rely on the government to help individuals in impoverished areas, it’s really up to the people of the community to help and provide support,” Cassidy said. “Giving back to these organizations will directly impact these poverty-stricken and sometimes overlooked areas of our country. I encourage my clients and others to use their DAF or QCD accounts for efforts like this, and I am happy to provide guidance on the best way to do that.” 

The five athletes will raise money for their specific organizations, including: 

  • Michael Vick: Vick Family Dream Fund—providing preventative community programming to underserved youth and formerly incarcerated citizens
  • Diamond Deshields: 3-D Foundation—providing financial support for eye care to youth in need
  • Charlie Batch: Best of the Batch—providing choices, motivation, and education in communities
  • Wendell Carter Jr.: A Platform2 Foundation—provides youth and families with educational programs, resources, and tools that impact and elevate their quality of life
  • J.R. Redman: Silverback Foundation—building support for individuals who struggle with mental health issues through educational guidance and identifying attainable solutions

In addition to the athletic panel and meet and greet, guests will also be treated to cocktails, dinner and dessert, making sure the evening is one for the record books.

“We value our relationships with our clients above everything else, and they are some of the most giving individuals I’ve ever met,” Cassidy said. “We are honored to make a difference in their financial lives and excited to provide this opportunity to give back!” 

While the event is not open to the public, anyone can donate to any of the five organizations to help Senior Planning Advisors reach their goal of raising $250,000 by visiting seniorplanningadvisorsevent.com/rsvp.
