SPOTTED: Much Music Legends

Music Legendary VJS Master T and Rick 'The Temp' Campanelli were spotted playing soccer for the charity tournament "Rock the Pitch" brought together by Athletes for Africa at Lamport Stadium in Toronto on August 11th. Master T has been involved for 3 years now in this organization that helps youth in Africa promote global citizenship and empowerment.
"By raising funds and increasing awareness, Athletes for Africa supports local programs that strengthen communities, provide education and foster skills development." Every team was surprised that both Master T who now works on his own film and video career and Rick Campanelli who is the host of ET Canada were both really good at playing soccer. Master T brought his sons to cheer for him, while Rick had to leave early to attend an event. I was able to catch an interview with the inspirational Master T, however, I forgot to press RECORD! I have no excuses other than it was raining that day. Master T's team did not win that day but it was in all good fun.  There was over $10, 000 raised. I hope to catch up with Master T next year. If you want to play next year and get involved with Rock The Pitch and/or donate, please visit their website www.athletesforafrica.com/
