Presented By Publix At Hard Rock Live On Sunday, November 1

(Black PR Wire) -- HOLLYWOOD – Known for its share of prizefights, the Seminole Hard Rock Live is about to host a heavyweight battle like never before. On Sunday, November 1, Jason Taylor, the legendary Miami Dolphins defender, will square off against current Dolphins Pro Bowl center, Mike Pouncey, in an epic table tennis match as part of the Global Wealth Management JT’s Ping-Pong Smash 12 – Presented by Publix (#JTvsPouncey). Proceeds from the event will benefit the Jason Taylor Foundation, whose mission is to support and create programs that facilitate the personal growth and empowerment of South Florida’s children in need by focusing on improved health care, education and quality of life. Additionally, this year’s Smash will also support the Team Pouncey Foundation.

“Mike is not only a great football player, but he’s been tremendously active in his support of my Foundation and the South Florida community as a whole,” said Taylor. “We are very excited to have him co-host this year’s Smash and I just hope he’s been practicing because he’ll need it!”

“I’m really looking forward to teaming up with JT on this event,” said Pouncey. “I have the utmost respect for him as a former teammate, as a competitor and as community leader. I’m just not sure how much I respect his ping pong game.”

This one-of-a-kind event will once again pair generous community members with some of the Sunshine State’s most recognizable personalities from the worlds of sports and entertainment, including Taylor and Pouncey, as well as a host of current and former Miami Dolphins players, cheerleaders and others. The duos will compete in a round-robin style ping-pong tournament while raising money for local children’s charities. The fun-filled, electric atmosphere will also feature Kimmy B from the DJ Laz Morning Show on the all new Hits 97.3 FM, as well as Power Parties DJs & Lighting filling the arena with today’s hottest music, in addition to the Best Buy Fun Zone, where those in attendance can enjoy a Best Buy gaming station, hair cuts, interactive games and more!

Prior to the action that evening, the Jason Taylor Foundation will hold the eighth-annual Ping-Pong Smash Kids Clinic – Supported by UPS. Nearly 100 deserving children will have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of the world’s fastest sport from former Puerto Rican Junior National Table Tennis Champion and three-time JT’s Ping-Pong Smash Champion, Juan Ly. The Kids Clinic will take place from 2:00 – 4:00 PM, also at Hard Rock Live.

Following the event, participants will attend the Hooters Champions’ Celebration to take part in the awards ceremony, a silent auction and loads of fun!
