SECOND ANNUAL EVA’S HEROES CELEBRITY GOLF TOURNAMENT – Post-Tournament Fashion Show to be hosted by Mario Lopez – San Antonio, October 18, 2008

As the Second Annual Eva’s Heroes Celebrity Golf Tournament approaches, Hollywood celebrities and friends of actress Eva Longoria Parker have confirmed attendance in support of her non-profit organization, Eva’s Heroes.

The Second Annual Eva’s Heroes Celebrity Golf Tournament is scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 18, 2008 at the Westin La Cantera Resort and Course, nestled in the Texas Hill Country, followed by a red carpet and post-tournament event hosted by Master of Ceremonies Mario Lopez, host of MTV’s Top Pop Group. The afternoon event will feature a silent and live auction, plus a one-of-a-kind fashion show sponsored by Dillard’s and starring the students of Eva’s Heroes.

“San Antonio has embraced Eva’s Heroes with open arms and we are fortunate to be part of a community that cares so much,” says Eva Longoria Parker, founder of Eva’s Heroes. “After the tremendous success of the first golf tournament, Eva’s Heroes is ready for another wonderful event in San Antonio.”

Even with celebrities on hand, the real “stars” of the day are the children and young adults who will be on hand to thank guests for helping build and expand the unique programs and offerings of the Eva’s Heroes Enrichment Centers, the first of which recently moved its operations to the Nellie M. Reddix Center this fall.

“We are so proud of the strides Eva’s Heroes has made in the last year,” says Christiane Perkins-Garcia, executive director of Eva’s Heroes. “We look forward to our continued growth and couldn’t have done it without the generosity of our sponsors and supporters in the community.”

A number of celebrities will be on hand to play golf and mingle, including: actor Mark Walberg; former San Antonio Spurs player Sean Elliott; My Boys actor Kyle Howard; MSNBC‘s Courtney Hazlett; Amaury Nolasco, Prison Break; Sam Page, Mad Men; Kyle Maclachlan, Desperate Housewives; and actor Richard Grieco, 21 Jump Street. Also joining the fun will be San Antonio Spurs players, including Tony Parker, Robert Horry and Tim Duncan.
