The New York Giants weren’t the only “Big Winners” on Super Bowl Sunday.  The Goals For Life Foundation, headed–up by Executive Director, Reggie Berry, hosted its annual Super Bowl Party for over four-hundred and fifty kids and their parents at the Norwalk Arts & Sports Complex in Norwalk, California. Even the mayor of the city of Norwalk, Rick Ramirez joined in the festivities. All participants received free tee shirts, autograph books, autographs from professional athletes, prizes ranging from new bicycles and back packs to footballs autographed by Hall of Famers such as Deacon Jones, free food that included pizza and hamburgers and fun & games played before the game aired on a large screen!

Goals For Life is a non-profit foundation that teaches a coeducational program that offers at-risk students a game plan for success. Combining the talents of former or active professional athletes, Goals For Life has developed a goal-oriented program structured for the students and has accepted the challenge to coordinate the effort required to address the at-risk population, perpetuating the message that success is not measured by the position that one has reached in life but by the obstacles which one overcomes while trying to succeed.

Goals For Life, founded by former NFL player Reggie Berry is celebrating 18 years.
