LOS ANGELES – Former NFL star Ron Jaworski helped host the Ditka & Jaws Cigars with the Stars event on Thursday night in Los Angeles to help raise money for his and former coach Mike Ditka’s foundations.

While Ditka couldn’t make the event due to an illness, Jaworski got help from sports broadcaster Mike Golic at the event. The former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback was raising money for his Jaws Youth Playbook Foundation, and Golic helped raise money for Ditka’s Gridiron Greats.

"It’s spectacular," Jaworski told Fox News Digital of having people come out to support the cause. "Coach Ditka and I have been hosting this for 13 years. It’s been kind of a passion for us now. Coach has raised money for Gridiron Greats, his favorite charity for former players who are struggling a bit and my foundation Jaws Playbook, which is also the other beneficiary, and we just enjoy doing it… and we’re gonna have a tremendous response to it. We figured in this COVID era, we have about 1,000 people tonight outdoors having a good time, and we get great support from our brothers in the football industry."
