BEDFORD, Texas (CitizenWire) — What do Pat Summerall, Mike Kiselak, Raghib “Rocket” Ismail, Nancy Lieberman, Texas Legend’s (Dallas Maverick’s D-League) and Southern Bleacher have in common? They all came out to Bedford, Texas to help bring a run-down basketball court and field to life again for the community of the small Texas town. An overwhelming success and stunning turnaround, every one of Pat Summerall’s SPORTS ANGELS had great time helping to make a difference.
SPORTS ANGELS will be a weekly hour long television show with the mandate of “kids, sports and communities in need first.” It will become the latest and greatest concept of “feel good” reality television with a purpose and a strong list of take home information and messages for the viewers. Each week, Pat will create and lead a team of retired or off-season professional sports players on a mission to repair, renovate and restore sports (or sporting facilities) all over America. Big cities, small towns, and everything in between “if it’s broke – they’ll fix it….”
Pat rightfully believes “childhood obesity is at an all time high, yet things like an attractive soccer field, or a new basketball hoop are considered ‘luxuries’ in today’s economy, especially in low income urban neighborhoods and communities who are facing the most severe cut backs.” According to Pat, “Health isn’t a luxury and we need to do whatever we can to get the next generation out of this danger zone and walking (and running) into a future of fun, health, and positive team work.” Pat knows “when you build a state of the art gym – great benefits come with it such as like lower drug use, less crime, and life lessons that won’t be forgotten.” SPORTS ANGELS will be a new twist on Pat’s “kid’s first” sports and health theme and now the biggest names in athletics are ready each week to help get America’s youth in shape, one field, one team and one kid at a time.
Said Southern Bleacher’s Garrett Pettus, “We’ve had a long-term relationship with Pat Summerall, and when he asked us to be an integral part of SPORTS ANGELS inaugural event, we jumped at the opportunity. We, like Pat, believe in giving back to the communities we serve across the United States. The bleacher and picnic tables we donated today are but a small component to the overall success of this and other projects that Sports Angels champions.”
