Rapper/actor Ice-T and his wife Coco are scheduled to play host for this year's upcoming Players Toast Awards Show, taking place at the Playboy Mansion.
The event is held to raise money for the Hollywood & Vine Recovery Centers and this will be Ice-T's fourth year acting as host for the event, which he is very excited about this year, with their choice of location.
"I look forward to this event every year and this year we are really looking forward to being at the mansion," said Ice-T. "We are expecting a great crowd and to raise awareness and hopefully respectable funds for 'Hollywood and Vine.' It's all about giving back."
The Players Toast Awards were developed through the eyes of Michael Carter, who introduced this vision to three other individuals -- Rick Appling, Ice-T and Darnell Gilbert. From the introduction, a great partnership was born and The Players Toast Awards became a reality.
"We all grew up together and have been through good times and bad," said founder Michael Carter. "The mission of the organization is to recognize high profile individuals, who have accomplished great tasks during their careers, never forgetting their roots, who reach out to help others along the way, making sure awareness is brought to the cause and the person behind the efforts is what we stand for."
Each year the Players Toast Awards partners with a non-profit foundation, in hope of raising greater awareness and funding for those in need. It continues to build long-standing relationships with corporate partners, the entertainment industry, professional sports industry and local community.
A new website for the event is currently under development at PlayersToastAwards.com.
