Shaq, Gronk to go Head-to-Head in Fundraiser for Social Justice

Shaquille O'Neal and Rob Gronkowski are throwing a "party with a purpose" this weekend.

The four-time NBA champion will face off against the three-time Super Bowl victor in six live challenges—ranging from an eating contest to a lip sync battle—to raise donations for two social justice organizations on Saturday.

For each contest, O'Neal and Gronkowski will face off in real time. The winner will earn funds for a charity of their choice.

O'Neal plans to donate his winnings to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, while Gronkowski will support NAACP Empowerment Programs.

“I always say there are two things that truly bring people together: sports and music," O'Neal said.
