 Billups, wife ready to hit the links for charity
I wonder if Tiger will be there? Quote:
July 29, 2007
When Chauncey Billups, the Pistons' cool captain, and his wife, Piper, decide to host a fund-raiser, they do it in style.
The Billupses will host their celebrity-laden events -- The Children's Center 23rd annual Celebrity Golf Classic and the Piper Billups Hip-Hop "Tee" Party -- on Monday at Birmingham Country Club.
On the golf side, each foursome will include one local celebrity: a current or former Detroit athlete, sports media member or coach. Meanwhile, any non-golfing attendee can spend the afternoon with Piper Billups, sipping iced tea, noshing on soul-food finger sandwiches and enjoying hip-hop dancing, jewelry shopping and contests inside the clubhouse.
A dinner and cocktail session for all parties will conclude the night.
Tickets for the tea party are $250 and can be purchased at thechildrenscenter.comcq-jj.
All proceeds go to the center, one of the state's biggest and most extensive agencies serving the needs of children and their families.
Also at the event, Chauncey Billups is expected to meet with the media to discuss the five-year, $60.5-million contract he signed July 11, the progress of the U.S. basketball team, and the state of the Pistons after a disappointing finish to this year's playoffs.
