THANK YOU TO ALL OUR SUPPORTERS,

GUESTS AND SPONSORS

FOR YOUR HELP IN MAKING THE

2010 NFL PLAYERS WEEKEND

A HUGE SUCCESS!!

Our Silent/Live Auction Night was at Zandri’s Stillwood Inn, and a fantastic time was had by all! Guests mingled with over 20 NFL players, purchased great NFL memorabilia and other incredible auction items while enjoying delicious food and drink.

Our NFL Youth Clinic was held at the Wallingford Parks & Recreation Department and was sold out in a matter of days. Youth between the ages of 8 – 14 years spent the afternoon practicing drills and having fun with NFL players.

Our final event, "Bowl With The Pros”, was held at Colony Lanes on Saturday night, and it was a wonderful way to end our NFL Players Weekend.

HUGE THANKS TO JOE & KATHY LINTA, AND THE ENTIRE JL SPORTS FAMILY!

THANK YOU TO OUR EVENT SPONSORS!

The United Way of Meriden and Wallingford would like to thank the following sponsors. Without their generosity and support, the United Way/NFL Players Weekend would not be possible.

THANK YOU TO OUR MEDIA SPONSORS!

Thanks to our other sponsors and supporters!!

The funds raised from this event will go towards our education goals and be invested in programs that are helping children enter school ready to learn as well as to stay in school in the midst of a nationwide “drop-out crisis.”

These are programs that you can see at work right away with results that will last a youngster a lifetime by giving at-risk youth the edge needed to achieve in school, to make college a viable option, to encourage life-long learning, and to develop a strong work ethic and become part of a productive, skilled workforce.
