Shaquille O'Neal and Reggie Bush's "Welcome to New Orleans" Big Easy Billiards Bash & After Party was dubbed as one of the biggest parties during the NBA to get into, which was held at the Hilton Riverside on Friday, February 15, 2008. This party had some of the biggest names inside including some of Hollywood's elite bidding on luxurious auction items after the Billiard's blowout. The event raised money for three great local causes: A Child's Wish, Habitat for Humanity, and the Father T Foundation-a new charter school in New Orleans offering unique and innovative education opportunities for children with learning differences.
