| 16TH ANNUAL TASTE OF THE NFL |
| World-Renowned Chefs and NFL Greats Team Up to Tackle Hunger in America |
| |
The NFL Preseason is underway and in South Florida the excitement is already building for Super Bowl
XLI. For the 16th year, Taste of the NFL (TNFL) will add its own flavor to the mix of big game excitement
with its Party with a Purpose®. To help raise awareness and dollars to tackle hunger in America, TNFL
gives the public the opportunity to get in on some of the NFL Super Bowl action, feast on dishes prepared
by world-renowned chefs and mingle with some of football’s all-time greats on a night of food, wine, fun
and football.
TNFL XVI takes place Saturday, February 3, 2007, at Greater Fort Lauderdale / Broward County
Convention Center, Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Housed in its largest facility to date, TNFL is doing more than
ever to give its guests a night to remember. In addition to stations for each of the 32 NFL teams and the
Pro Bowl, guests will enjoy new, themed hot spots, including: a special Flavors of South Florida section,
the 1972 undefeated Miami Dolphins, The University of Miami Hurricanes and internationally-renowned
artist Charles Fazzino.
Since its founding in 1992, Taste of the NFL has raised more than $6 million for hunger-related charities
and has become one of the premier events of Super Bowl weekend, hosting an average of 3,000 guests
on the eve of the big game. The recipe for success is outstanding food, perfectly paired wines, personal
interaction with NFL greats, a one-of-a-kind silent auction and live entertainment.
A portion of the funds raised through the Party with a Purpose are distributed to members of America's
Second Harvest -- The Nation's Food Bank NetworkTM(A2H) located in NFL cities. Additional funds also
are distributed through other hunger relief programs including Food Research & Action Council (FRAC),
Campus Kitchens and Community Kitchens
