2009 United Way / NFL Players Weekend
Where were you when the NFL
Players came to town??
16th Annual United Way/NFL Players Weekend
Friday March 6th & Saturday March 7th, 2009
Friday night was our Silent/Live Auction Night at Zandri’s Stillwood Inn. Guests had the opportunity to mingle with over 20 NFL players from the Pittsburgh Steelers, N.E. Patriots, Baltimore Ravens and Philadelphia Eagles, including NFL Rookie of the year, the Ravens QB Joe Flacco & Super Bowl Champ Willie Colon of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Guests bid on a huge assortment of NFL and other sports memorabilia while they enjoyed delicious food & had fun socializing with the pros!
During the day on Saturday, we held a NFL Youth Clinic at the Wallingford Parks & Rec Department where local kids between the ages of 8-14 years spent a great afternoon practicing drills and having fun with professional NFL Players!
This wonderful event culminated with a “Bowl with a Pros” night on Saturday night at Wallingford Bowl, where an NFL player bowled on every sponsored lane.
