“Chuck” returns to NBC Sunday, January 10, 2010, and We Heart Chuck (WHC) is welcoming the spy-action-comedy show’s third season by hosting a weekend-long charitable celebration, CHUCKFEST 2010.
CHUCKFEST 2010 is a “Chuck”-themed Nintendo Wii Golf charity tournament benefitting the Los Angeles and San Diego, CA chapters of the American Heart Association (AHA). The event allows “Chuck” fans to support their favorite show while simultaneously raising awareness and funds for a worthy cause.
The weekend festivities kick off Saturday, January 9th, with a Nintendo Wii Golf Tournament at The Meeting Room in Los Angeles.
