Park Place Maserati General Manager George Johnson with LaDainian Tomlinson
Guests donate toys to benefit Cook Children’s Medical Center
Park Place Maserati Fort Worth recently hosted a holiday event for LaDainian Tomlinson’s 21 Ventures organization.
LaDainian Tomlinson is a former TCU and NFL football player who retired in 2011 after nine seasons with the San Diego Chargers and two with the New York Jets. Tomlinson was selected to five Pro Bowls and won rushing titles in 2006 and 2007. At the time of his retirement, he ranked second in career rushing and third in total touchdowns. Last month, the Chargers inducted Tomlinson into their Ring of Honor and retired his #21 jersey. Tomlinson becomes only the fourth player to have his number retired by the Chargers, joining Lance Alworth (#19), Dan Fouts (#14) and the late Junior Seau (#55.) He currently serves as an analyst on NFL Network.
Guests walked the red carpet and filled a Maserati with new toys benefiting patients at Cook Children’s Medical Center. Then they had the opportunity to have a photo taken with Tomlinson to commemorate the evening and enjoy a glass of champagne or wine before dinner.
The Capital Grille served lobster rolls, crab cocktail, shrimp cocktail and ahi tuna appetizers, followed by a seated dinner of beef tenderloin, chicken breast, lobster mac and cheese, vegetable medley and cheesecake tarts. Candee Couture constructed a luxurious dessert bar.
After dinner, guests settled into the Hennessy XO VIP lounge with hand-rolled cigars and Hennessy cocktails and music by the Freddie Jones Band.
