This past weekend in NYC actor Jamie Hector (also known as Marlo from HBO’s The Wire) celebrated his first annual Moving Mountains, Inc. Weekend with his celebrity friends by way of a paintball tournament held at NYC paintball in Long Island City Queens to follow with an honorees luncheon in lower Manhattan at the loft of actor Kwane Spinks. The event was a spectacular one as Jamie and friends from HBO’s series The Wire all came out to support, coming together forming “The Wire Team” as they were to compete against the winning team. There were 15 competing teams all playing against each other to go up against “The Wire Team”. The winning team was “Team Def Jam” who competed against the “The Wire Team” and lost. The Wire Team consisted of Sonja Sohn, J.D. Williams and Jamie Hector.

All teams who played sponsored a package that went towards the moving mountains Inc. organizations which will help to keep their program running during the summer, helping to keep the youth off the streets and being active within their communities.
