Wade Smith played football in Lake Highlands before his days in the NFL, and now he’s returning to the Dallas area for a big fundraiser for youth programs. The Wade Smith Foundation will host its Inaugural Lake Highlands Legends Charity Weekend this Thursday, April 26 through Saturday, April 28.

Celebrity players will be participating, including LH legends Reggie Newhouse, Marcus Stiggers, Stephen Hodge, Frank Okam and Marshall Newhouse. The list of NFL All-Stars includes Antoine Caldwell, Herb Taylor, Torri Williams, Patrick Crayton, Nic Harris and Adrian Jones.

The event kicks off with a VIP reception at Winstons Supper Club in Dallas, with a celebrity bowling tournament in Addison Friday night. Night owls can preview Smith’s restaurant venture, Viva La Vida, til the wee hours after that.

On Saturday, the celebrity players will conduct a football clinic and flag football game at Eagle Stadium in DeSoto. The foundation will donate 20% of every LH ticket sold to the game back to the Wildcat Club for use by LH athletics. Tickets are $5 for regular admission or $25 for a VIP field pass.

There’s more info on the website here, including details about becoming a sponsor, volunteer opportunities, the exact times and locations of events, and so on.

Proceeds will be used by the Wade Smith Foundation to support youth programs promoting health, fitness, nutrition and education.
