Project 1-2-3: Day 25 - Volunteer Volunteers

Note: Starting May 1st and continuing for the 123 days leading up to the start of the 2011 college football season, "Project 1-2-3" will share pictures, videos and memorable moments from the last nine years of Special Spectators game day events.

The Special Spectators events at the University of Tennessee have featured some very memorable moments - delicious tailgates in the shadows of Neyland Stadium, visits by the Volunteer men's basketball team and a stadium announcement in front of more than a 100,000 orange-clad fans. Many thanks to the members of the East Tennessee (Knoxville) chapter of the National Football Foundation for volunteering their time and resources to host these events! These Volunteers are real volunteers.

Project 1-2-3: Day 23 - More Than Football

Special Spectators was originally designed to create game day events for seriously ill children at college football games. As our collegiate partners discovered how much going to a game impacted the families, they asked us to host similar events for other sports. We've hosted kids at soccer matches, gymnastics meets, basketball and baseball games. This segment from ESPN2's morning show, Cold Pizza, features an event at a University of Akron men's basketball game. Delta Airlines also included this piece as part of their in-flight entertainment in September 2004.
