Notable participants include actor Joe Manganiello supporting UPMC Children’s Hospital Foundation, comedian Tiffany Haddish playing for the She Ready Foundation, and actor Matt Walsh representing Open Books.
Additional celebrities include WNBA player Cameron Brink from the Los Angeles Sparks, Grey’s Anatomy actress Jessica Capshaw, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Ben Schwartz, and Adam Pally. The season kicked off with a special episode featuring musical legends Dionne Warwick, Chance the Rapper, and Lil Jon.
