This is a great story. It is all the more so because the person involved didn't want any credit for what he did. A former MVP winning NFL player recently paid to have 70 underprivileged children and their families flown to Walt Disney World for a vacation. He picked up the entire cost for everything with no sponsor help and no publicity for himself.
Kurt Warner
Well thats it I guess we will never find out who COKE MOM is?!?! But its all good, thanks for all the reveals you big hunk of a Bear! And thanks for adding that extra spice to our lives everyday!
ReplyDeleteHave a great 4th everybody!
check him out on wiki - looks like he's done some great stuff and is a real family man. good to hear some of these outrageously overpaid athletes are putting their money to good use. wonderful!
ReplyDeletesame here, montana!!
ReplyDeleteHey, don't give up so soon - we still have Friday's kindnesses to be revealed! (I hope. :) )
ReplyDeleteOhhh you are right I thought cus of the date, we were done. Okay Enty hit us with your best shot!
ReplyDeleteEnty's not done yet. At the very least he will have his weekly Thank You. He usually tells us when he is done.
ReplyDeleteI'm hanging in there (hic). Thanks for a great day, Enty!
ReplyDeleteYes I'm looking forward to the last act of kindness about the person giving out the gift bags to Best Buy.
ReplyDeleteI hope we don't have to wait for New Years for this reveal.
Wow, I read Kurt Warner's wiki - he is amazing. Kudos to Kurt and his family, and to Enty for "outing" him.
ReplyDeletePolly, please pass the bottle - I need another swig.
ReplyDeleteI hope Kurt Warners' life is filled with beautiful things. What he did was just wonderful!
ReplyDeletei thought the reveals were especially good and thanks enty, for doing them.
ReplyDeletesome blinds have to remain unrevealed for obvious reasons.
I'm a long-time lurker who loooooves this site. I work for a homeless/ domestic violence program, and we were a beneficiary of Kurt Warner's generosity. He paid for the playground at our site's child care center to be completely re-done. His only stipulation was NO PUBLICITY. He's a devoutly religious man who actually walks the walk.
ReplyDeleteDamn it .. I hate Kurt Warner with a passion. [He ran an ad opposing Stem Cell Research versus Michael J. Fox's ad for it in the 2004 election. And he is very supportive of organizations that want to ban a woman's right to choose.]
ReplyDeleteWell hope the kids had fun and I still hate you Kurt .. but keep doing good work for under-privileged kids.
Well I don't hate Kurt, but I definitely don't like his politics too. There's also some controversy stemming from his involvement with Joyce Meyer Ministries regarding what some think, are ministers who take advantage of celebrity endorsements to increase member contributions, and then use that money to live a lavish lifestyle. ESPN's TV program Outside the Lines, recently did a program on pro athletes who give money, (and by implication, endorsements), to high profile ministries like Kurt and Joyce Meyer, and Evander Holyfield and Creflo Dollar. (First aired on 4/19/09)
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, I do believe that Kurt honestly believes what he believes, and I do cheer for him when he plays, because I like how he plays the position. I also cheer for him because he was traded out of St. Louis, before his time, and I like to see someone make their way back to the top of their game. (It's why I was cheering for Andy Roddick today). It's just hard to separate the two things. And hearing how generous he is with stuff like this, only makes it more difficult.
