Sports Stars Come to Royal Oak for 'Draft Party'
Athletes set to mix with fans to raise funds for the the South Oakland Family YMCA and the NFL Alumni Detroit Chapter Student Athlete Scholarship Fund.

The South Oakland Family YMCA and the NFL Alumni Association are partnering for the fourth year to host what has become one of the "must attend" charity events of the year at the Star Lanes at Emagine Royal Oak.
The Draft Party has been a hit since its inception. It's where celebrity bartenders mix with a crowd of charitable attendees, athletes and local celebrates. Nate Berleson, Jimmy King, Ron Rice, Stefan Logan, Lem Barney and the 2013 Detroit Pride cheerleaders will be attending.
Admission is $25 (purchased on www.neptix.com) or $30 at the door. The majority of the cover is split between the South Oakland Family YMCA and the NFL Alumni Detroit Chapter Student Athlete Scholarship Fund, the rest covers food. Drinks are available via cash bar all night.
