More Than an NFL Star

Well I am so happy and excited to announce that it’s official: Levar Fisher, who used to play the outside linebacker position for the Arizona Cardinals, and now is a motivational speaker, will be appearing at Kids Are Heroes Day at the Francis Scott Key Mall in Frederick, Maryland on Saturday, October 23rd.  Levar is one of our partners who travels around the country speaking about Kids Are Heroes and encouraging kids not to let go of their dreams.  I have met him in person and have witnessed his speaking firsthand.  All I can say is if you can make it to this event you are in for a real treat.  NFL players who are prima donnas sometimes make people feel that all players are like that.  Well not Levar.  Besides being an entertaining speaker, he is engaging and is very approachable.  His charisma is what really works for him and wins over the kids.  Before kids know him they want to hear from him just because he is an NFL player.  It’s one of those “you had me at hello” kind of things.  But his talent at keeping kids and parents interested is what is really important.  Because it’s not all about an entertaining speech.  It’s about helping to set off a spark inside of you and your children. Believe me, you and your family will be rewarded if you come to visit him and all the other kids on Kids Are Heroes Day.

And don’t forget, Diana Onyonyi will also be there. She is our first hero from Africa and is traveling all the way from Nairobi, Kenya!!  Her speech is entitled “Peace is Possible”.  So if you want to experience potentially life-changing inspiration, you’ll want to be a center court on Saturday October 23rd.  As we get closer to the event I will post times of certain events that will be happening that day.  We have much more than I just mentioned, including other heroes traveling from all over the country.  So please, mark your calendars and stay tuned!!
