A Big Heart

Also joining in on the festivities were actress Molly Sims, who was the MC for the event, and DJ Eve, who provided the entertainment. Guests were treated to watching Mr. Brady do what he does best – throw footballs. The throwing of the autographed footballs was to raise money for Best Buddies, a charity that helps those who suffer from intellectual and developmental disabilities to develop social, leadership and employment skills.
