United Way throws Brooklyn bash with a serious purpose
Celebrities like Grizz Chapman of NBC’s “30 Rock” and Jordon Carlos, host of Comedy Central joined hundreds of United Way volunteers in a walk over the Brooklyn Bridge Saturday morning, to an all-day celebration at Cadman Plaza Park.
The bash was a blast – but its purpose was to raise awareness of increasing poverty and the need to “bridge” gaps in education, income and health for low-income New Yorkers.
Called the “Live United” Bridge Walk, Downtown Brooklyn rocked with entertainment, food, and activities for children. Barclays Center representatives played basketball with all comers on the Brooklyn Nets “Snap Court” while members of the Brooklynettes dance team signed autographs.
