Kurt to Host New Reality Show “The Moment” on USA Network

The USA Network announced on Jan. 25 that it has picked up the nine-episode reality series “The Moment,” in which the two-time NFL and Super Bowl MVP will give people a second chance to return to abandoned careers. Kurt knows a thing or two about second chances: famously going from stocking shelves at a Hy-Vee in Iowa to Super Bowl stage. Click here for full story.

"Homes for the Holidays" Brings Smiles & Happy Tears

Two single mothers and first-time homeowners received the surprise of their lives at the dedication of their new homes when, with help from corporate teammates Aaron’s, U-Haul, Amway, R&S Mattresses, Albertson’s, and Pedal Power, First Things First transformed their new houses into homes for the young families, just in time for Christmas. Marianna and Alina (2) Hernandez, and Diana, Daniella (11) and Brian (9) Espinoza in Phoenix and Surprise, AZ respectively, entered their homes to find them completely furnished with furniture, towels, linens, cleaning supplies, food, even a Christmas tree with presents and a bike for each kid! Additional thanks to Habitat for Humanity of Central Arizona and Neighborhood Housing Services of Southwest Maricopa County. See more photos on Kurt’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/kurtwarner.

Arête and Operation Christmas Child

Kurt and Brenda joined the Arête kids for a special project to teach the mentees about the importance of budgeting and of giving back to those less fortunate. The activity started at Sunshine Acres with a discussion about the importance of budgeting from a First Things First friend from Chase Bank. Then, the kids traveled courtesy of NY 54 Limo to meet the Warners to work within a set budget to purchase school supplies, toys, hygiene items, small gifts and a personal letter to fill empty shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child. OCC has hand-delivered more than 86 million shoe box gifts since 1993 to needy children in more than 130 countries around the world! Nov 14-21 is National Collection Week and with thousands of drop-off locations around the US, it’s easy to participate. To find out more go to samaritanspurse.org/occ.
