Hines Ward’s Charity Fundraising Weekend was a Blast!!
Local product, current Steeler and former Georgia Bulldog star Hines Ward sponsored a charity event here in Atlanta the weekend of June 4-6 to raise money for the The Hines Ward Helping Hands Foundation. According to his web site their mission is two-fold: “We help bi-racial Korean children to have a better quality of life while promoting equality and we provide educational programs to help children build confidence and maintain a work ethic that will provide them the tools to succeed in life.” See Hines Ward’s fan page at http://www.mvp86.com/ for more details! The Steelers Fan Club of Atlanta was well represented at the events and we all had a great time. The bowling event was fantastic. We were able to bowl with a Steeler or former Steeler at each lane, and hang out with some of our favorite players! In attendance were, Hines Ward, Jerome “The Bus” Bettis, Charlie Batch, Deshea Townsend, Max Starks, Chris Hope, Stefan Logan, Chris Kemoeatu, Willie Colon, Dennis Dixon, Trai Essex, William Gay, Rashard Mendenhall, Ike Taylor, Anthony Madison, ,Justin Vincent, and Mike Wallace ( I may have forgotten a couple…). I’ll post pictures later…
The football camp was fantastic! Hines said they had over 300 kids. The players interacted a lot with the kids and everyone had a blast! My wife and I also attended the Sunday after party at Whiskey Blue. Not as many players made it to that affair, but we still had Hines Ward, Justin Vincent, Willie Colon, Mewelde Moore, Stefan Logan, Keyaron Fox, probably some others I don’t remember, and the bonus player was James Farrior. We’ll get our tickets to the events next year on the day they go on sale!
I was curious if anyone was planning a roadtrip for the Titan’s or Buccs game this season.
Hi Amy, No planned trips yet. Anyone interested in organizing a road trip for the club? If someone wants to take the lead, we can help advertise to the membership!
