The soiree was home to many of Chris’ friends to include Redskins’ Clinton Portis and Jason Campbell, along with Wizards’ Gilbert Arenas.

WKYS 93.9 was the official party sponsor and awarded Mr. Samuels with an award for ‘Outstanding Community Service’.

A photo, painted by a local artist, of Samuels in official Redskin jersey was also presented.

Recently, Chris and his foundation awarded a new home to a family who withstood the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. 

Samuels has received support from Democratic presidential forerunner, Barack Obama for his efforts.

A somewhat humble philanthropist, Samuels did not disclose the value of the home.

Samuels is also involved with other community efforts to include assisting area youth.
