Boys & Girls Club of Rusk County Host The Larry Centers & Friends Celebrity Golf Tournament

Monday, October 14 the Boys & Girls Club of Rusk County will host the Larry Centers Celebrity Golf Tournament at Wood Hollow Country Club in Longview.

Larry Centers is an East Texas native that played 14 seasons in the National Football League as a Fullback. He played in the Pro Bowl three times and was part of the New England Patriots Super Bowl championship backfield with Tom Brady and Kevin Faulk. He holds the NFL's record for running backs for most receptions in a season (101 in 1995) and was the first NFL running back to have 100 receptions in one season. He held the career record for receptions for a running back in the NFL.

To give back to the community, Larry will bring some of his celebrity friend to East Texas to help raise funds for The Boys & Girls Club of Rusk County and The Boys & Girls Club of Rusk County/Kilgore Unit. The goal is to raise $20,000 to help the centers provide supplies and programs needed for the areas. If you would like to participate or make a donation, contact Peggy McAllister at 903-655-2112 or psmcalister1@yahoo.com.
