00:00 the story I'm very excited about because Mark Wahlberg is one of the most in-demand Hollywood
00:04 actors but has been focusing on and continuing to be working with of course Youth Foundations.
00:10 Sonia Asad spent the weekend in Las Vegas with Mark and his celebrity friends
00:15 for the first ever Mark Wahlberg Celebrity Invitational Golf Tournament.
00:19 Dozens of celebrities and athletes joined Mark Wahlberg in Las Vegas to participate in the
00:29 inaugural Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation Celebrity Invitational at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
00:34 We didn't play very good but had an amazing time. So many wonderful people came out here to support
00:42 our foundation and you know people had a lot of fun which is the most important thing. Having fun
00:47 for a worthy cause it's really nice. Yeah! That's the best I've done all day yes but and also the
00:57 fact that we're out here you know for a good cause and having fun it's great. Mark's a good friend
01:01 you know we've worked together in the past but more importantly we have a friendship and a
01:06 friendship over golf as well. I love to read and so the fact that he is trying to instill that
01:12 in youth and if I can you know support it in any way and being here is probably the least I could
01:18 do. Mark and and how he conducts his life and does all these things it's just it just brings more
01:23 eyes and more people to it because what the Wahlbergs do is amazing and they help so many
01:27 people. Working hard for the people using their celebrity and family brand to do things to help
01:32 others and it just makes sense. Of course we're at Shadow, we're in Vegas, it's a great day,
01:36 great group of people here. Swing! That's a great swing. Guests were on the links for the highly
01:44 anticipated Celebrity Golf Tournament followed by the fundraising gala which featured entertainment
01:49 by Busta Rhymes. This foundation that Mark has put together for the children
02:05 is not only incredible but it's this is like the ultimate bottom line. The foundation helps young
02:15 people by creating and supporting initiatives like academic achievement, leadership development,
02:20 positive behavior, healthy lifestyle and social change. You'd be surprised how much things may
02:26 change over time when you start to give these kids resources and the ability to see beyond their
02:30 scope. It's such an honor to be now in that position to be able to do that and to be that
02:35 person that a young person might look at and say I want to be like that. It's not something that we
02:41 need to make a yearly event, I think we should do it quarterly. This is Sonia Assad in Las Vegas.
02:49 Hey and Mark Warkberg said he would love to host quarterly events learning
02:56 of course on his celebrity friends and expanding foundations to reach in cities need across the
03:02 country.
