Role Model Clients: Michael Strahan, Conrad Dobler, Annie Duke

Welcome to the first installment of Role Model Clients. The posts under this heading will not have its own category, but will be placed in the Philanthropy category instead (I decided against doing a separate Honorable Clients of the Week column). This will not be a weekly post. I will post Role Model Clients every so often (probably every other Saturday…but don’t hold me to it).

1) Purchase, NY is the setting for the 2nd annual celebrity golf tournament hosted in part by Michael Strahan of the New York Giants. The tournament will be held on July 9th and all money received will go towards SCAN, a child welfare pathfinder in the establishment of a school-based presence [New York Giants’ Michael Strahan and Dreier LLP to Host Charity Golf Tournament at Century Country Club on July 9].

2) Once known as “Pro Football’s Dirtiest Player,” Conrad Dobler is now an advocate for retired football players [E-ticket: A Dirty Shame].  He is trying to help retired players receive more benefits, disability claims, and overall respect from the NFLPA.

3) Poker season is in full swing with the opening of the 2007 World Series of Poker this past week.  On July 5th, though, some poker players and actors joined up to help out Darfur.  Poker pro, Annie Duke, and actor Don Cheadle founded Ante Up for Africa to help fight the genocide in Darfur, and held their first charitable tournament on the 5th [Giving back].
