Hi Denise

 

My name is Bryce Weiler. I am a blind individual who has been working on
programs for people who are disabled with the Baltimore Orioles. With the
Orioles, I have helped the team create programs to help people who are
disabled be able to play on the field with players and coaches before games.
Also, I have helped the Orioles become the first team in sports to wear
Braille on their jerseys to honor people who are blind. I am helping run a
nonprofit called The Beautiful Lives Project, where we work to help people
who are disabled be able to experience programs in sports, art, cheer and
dance, as well as ballet. Here is the link to our web site.

On March 28 from twelve forty-five until one forty-five in the afternoon, I
have an event where 30 participants with disabilities can learn football
fundamentals from the Northern Illinois football team. The event will take
place at Huskies Stadium in Dekalb Illinois, there is more information in
the waiver below where the event will be held in case of rain. The Northern
Illinois football team and The Beautiful Lives Project wants to give
everyone with disabilities, no matter the age or if they have played
football before, the opportunity to experience football and to make new
friendships that can last a lifetime. Here is a link describing the event,
as well as the waiver that needs to be filled out by each participant, or if
the participant is under 18 years of age, the parent or guardian.

Please call or email me with any questions, my number is 812-899-5673. Coach
Thomas Hammock is a great coach who believes that everyone should have the
ability to experience football and he wants to share this with as many
people as possible. I hope you will have some individuals interested in
attending this event and please share it with whoever you would like.
