The Jarvis Green Foundation Launches
Southern Louisiana Annual Wine Tasting Gala in Baton Rouge
Proceeds will be distributed to disadvantaged single mothers in Baton Rouge low income areas
(BATON ROUGE LA – May 16, 2011) The Jarvis Green Foundation’s wine tasting gala, which benefits disadvantaged single mothers in low income areas comes to Baton Rouge. The evening festivities at the Cook Hotel/Lod Cook Alumni Center will include a live band, dining on gourmet food, sipping fine wines, a raffle and a silent auction.
These women take on awesome responsibilities of raising and building the lives of precious children alone. Despite the circumstance, the key is a parent who not only provides for their children but gives much love and doesn’t give up. Therefore, The Jarvis Green Foundation hosts various events and fundraisers in an effort to help make these families’ dreams a reality.
“As athletes we need to think twice about the decisions we make to help the community. So many people invest time in helping to develop an athlete and support that person. So the least we [athletes] can do is give back. You paying forward is giving back what’s been invested in you.” said, Jarvis Green
Friday evening May 27th 7-11pm, the start of Memorial Day weekend patrons will be enjoying various flavors from Treasury Wine Estates at different stations placed throughout the venue while sampling international and southern cuisine catered by Unique Cuisine of Lod Cook Center. In addition, live music will be provided by Rat Pack Band featuring Liza Minnelli, jokes by comedian D’lai, and other performances such as X-tremetalent caricature, Elvis Statue and Jester Juggler.
A former 2x-Superbowl Champion, New England Patriot and current Houston Texan, Jarvis will be joined by former LSU and NFL players and coaches (i.e., Corey Webster, Bradie James, Kyle Williams, Randall Gay, Alan Faneca, Kevin Faulk, Glenn Dorsey, Tyson Jackson, former All-Pro RB Jamal Anderson, Texans 2nd rd pick Brandon Harris, etc) Hollywood celebrities and various top local executives.
Coming from a two parent household and growing up in Louisiana, Jarvis came to appreciate the strength and sacrifice many of these single mothers make for their children life seen through his friend’s experiences and neighborhood. Jarvis’s foundation selected its first recipient years ago, Michelle Jefferson, a New Orleans native who lost everything in the flooding caused by Hurricane Katrina. Michelle was flown to New York for an appearance on the Montel Williams Show and surprised with much-needed financial assistance among other gifts. On ESPN Jim Rome, Jarvis surprised Michelle at the house he helped her purchase after the natural disaster.

The President and First Lady announced that this year’s White House Easter Egg Roll will be held on Monday, April 25, 2011 with the theme of “Get Up and Go!” promoting health and wellness. The event will feature live music, sports courts, cooking stations, storytelling and, of course, Easter egg rolling. All of the activities will encourage children to lead healthy and active lives and follow the First Lady’s Let’s Move! initiative, a national campaign to combat childhood obesity. The White House will open its South Lawn for children aged 12 years and younger and their families.
The White House Easter Egg Roll is now less than one month away! Each week brings new exciting information and opportunities related to this year’s event.
On Monday, the official 2011 White House Easter Egg Roll logo and souvenir eggs were announced. The logo features a jumping Easter Bunny, representing this year’s theme Get Up and Go!, in support of the First Lady’s Let’s Move! initiative to raise a healthier generation of kids.
This year’s eggs come in the pastel colors purple, pink, green, and yellow. The eggs are handmade in the United States from wood that is harvested using strict environmentally friendly practices. Each egg will feature a stamp of the logo, and the signatures of both the President and First Lady. The souvenir eggs can be purchased online through the National Parks Foundation.
Finally, there are only 5 days left to enter the 2011 White House Easter Egg Roll Poster Contest. This contest is open to local Elementary and Middle School students in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The winning artist will have the opportunity to bring their whole class to this year’s Easter Egg Roll. The submission deadline is Monday, April 4th at 11:59 pm EDT. You can learn more about the contest here.
The Easter Egg Roll has been an important White House tradition for over one-hundred and twenty years, and has grown to become the largest event held at the White House each year. This year’s Egg Roll will be attended by visitors from every corner of the United States, who will travel great distances for their visit to the People’s House. Bringing members of the public in for the Easter Egg Roll is just one important way that we’re working to make this the most open and accessible White House ever.
26 days and counting! Time to start getting excited!
