San Jose Stealth News Release
On Tuesday, March 16, Berkeley High School hosted their Seventh Annual Berkeley Athletic Fund Celebrity Waiter Luncheon, benefiting Berkley High School athletic teams. Participating in this year's festivities from the San Jose Stealth were defensemen Jim Moss and Shaydon Santos.
The luncheon, held at Hs Lordship's Restaurant helped raise more $10,000 dollars for Berkley High's athletic programs, which includes lacrosse. In 1985, Berkley high became the first Bay Area high school to introduce the sport of lacrosse to their athletic program. Nineteen years later, they are one of the best high school lacrosse teams in the nation, as they recently celebrated their 2003 State Championship title with a win over cross-town rival De La Salle. Having players from the San Jose Stealth at the event was obviously very exciting for the storied lacrosse program at the school.
Willing to do anything to make a difference in the community, Moss and Santos graciously gave up part of their day for the great cause. Serving parents, faculty and friends, the two Stealth defensemen found themselves thoroughly enjoying their experience.
"It was fantastic," said Jim Moss, 2002-03 National Lacrosse League Defenseman of the Year. "It's always a good thing anytime you can help out in the community."
The list of celebrity waiters was very impressive, as past and present players from the 49ers and Raiders, including Andre Carter and Zack Crockett, topped the star-studded lineup.
"Meeting all kinds of new people was definitely the highlight of the event for me," added Santos. "Meeting some of those football players was really great. There were good people at the event."
John Sasaki from FOX Channel 2, served as the master of ceremonies for the luncheon. Not only is Sasaki a BHS alum, but he is also the founder of the men's lacrosse program for the school.
"John Sasaki was great. He made the event," said Moss.
After lunch was served, all celebrities were available for autographs and photo opportunities. When asked if this was something he would like to participate in again next year Moss said, "Oh definitely. I always have a great time helping out any way I can."
