(KANSAS CITY, MO) January 27, 2004; Sunday, February 1th at City Union Mission’s Men Center, Kansas City’s homeless will have the chance to watch as the New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers battle for NFL’s top prize.
Dan Doty, executive director at City Union Mission states, "We want homeless men and families to be able to enjoy what so many of us take for granted. The Super Bowl gives us a unique opportunity to show them we care. They do matter. Special events like these, where they hear the testimony of national athletes encourages them toward permanent stability which includes having a vital relationship with Jesus Christ."
Approximately, 300 men will devour a Super Bowl party feast complete with pizza and chilidogs. Pepsi supplied all Pepsi beverages donated specifically for the event.
At half-time a gospel video featuring Tommy Maddox, quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers with testimonies from Dan Krieder and Jeff Hartings, also of the Steelers, will be shown. Special music from Christian recording artist Toby Mac will be featured. |
