Watch the video and find out how Oakland Raider Justin Tuck got tough, who Olympian Jonny Moseley calls a sports hero, and who else attends the ultimate holiday party in SF:
Sports heroes Bret Hedican, Chris Heston, Carlos Hyde, Noah Lowry, Jonny Moseley, Khari Stephenson, Donald Strickland, Justin Tuck, Michael Wilhoite, Chris Wondlowski and Kristi Yamaguchi gathered at AT&T Park for Wender Weis Foundation for Children‘s annual Holiday Heroes event and benefit for kids in need. On December 7, 2015, the Oakland Raiders, San Francisco 49ers, San Jose Earthquakes, Golden State Warriors and the San Jose Sharks all played with one goal in mind — to benefit underserved kids in the Bay Area.
We spotted not only sports heroes but also some 700 children, event co-chairs Letitia Kim and Michael Kim, past chairs Ted Bartlett, Meg Bertero, Christine Paige Considine, Susan Solinsky Duryea and Paul Duryea, Donna Hoghooghi and Wender-Weis Foundation founder Amy Wender-Hoch, just to name a few.
