April 2013 Las Vegas NV- Michael Jordan and his famous friends from the world of sports were on the links at the Shadow Creek Golf Course for the 12th Annual Michael Jordan Celebrity Invitational to benefit Make-A-Wish, James R. Jordan Foundation, Opportunity Village and Cats Care, the NBA Charlotte Bobcats’ charity arm.
The 2013 MJCI tourney winners were a pair of St. Louis Cardinals World Series greats: Vince Coleman and Ozzie Smith. The baseball icons split the winner’s check of $40,000 for each of their personal charities.
