Goals For Life Foundation

On Friday, January 10, Fredric and Julie Holzberger, founders and owners of the Aveda Frederic Institute in West Chester, OH were gracious enough to host my class of five 7th grade young ladies from St. Francis Seraph School in Cincinnati…very cool.

After almost 25 weeks of the Goal Sheet Contest, these qualifying students had a great time touring the Bengals' home.

The 25 St. Joseph's students in the Goals For Life program enjoyed a private tour of Paul Brown Stadium yesterday, presented by tour guide without equal, Terry Wallace and supported by the generosity of Contech and LaRosa's. The boys had an awesome time, diving into the end zone, trying to kick an extra point (emphasis on trying) and making some great circus catches from St. Joseph's Dean, Eric Wilcher and former Bengal and GFL Instructor, David Fulcher.

Then we went to the gym for our delicious pizza lunch, and when a couple of players showed up during our lunch, we thought it couldn't get any better. And then Coach Marvin Lewis came in, and the boys went nuts! How cool was that!!

Much thanks to Jeff Berding and Teri Moratschek from the Bengals, and Gayle Wright from LaRosa's. The boys loved the t-shirts and caps, so much love goes out to Ron Keating and Melissa McDonald from Contech. And of course kudos to Tracy Laycock from Munoz Brandz for the t-shirt and cap design and timely production.

Thank you also to Mark Grimme, our biggest supporter, volunteer, and most excellent photographer, for being my friend.

It was a great day…it didn't even rain. The best part is we get to do it again next week with our boys from Resurrection.

I'm going to the Rec Center now, to sit in the jacuzzi…
