While some people complained and whined about a little sleet and snow, Grey Goose and its celebrity partners braved the inclement weather and honored their commitment to the Adrian Peterson foundation. Erykah Badu, Terrell Owens, Reggie Bush, Amy Smart and Carter Oosterhouse were among the illustrious list celebrities who supported the Grey Goose lounge during Super Bowl week in Dallas.
Peterson and his wife, Angela, established the foundation to positively impact the lives of children with speech and language disorders.
Under the looming threat of an NFL lockout in the upcoming season, patrons were delighted that Grey Goose, NFL players and other members of the entertainment community stepped up to the plate to raise money for this phenomenal foundation.
Rolling out also attended and experienced the celebration firsthand. And while a number of parties took place during Super Bowl week, this one left an indelible impression on its fortunate guests.
Members of the media have been known to comment about the grandiose and sometimes narcissistic lifestyles of entertainers and their seemingly “all about me” attitude. However, there’s a lot to be said for the old adage, don’t judge a person until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes.
Negativity and shocking stories sell more newspapers and generate more hits on websites. But ro would like to take the time to laud these celebrities who soldiered on under appalling and sometimes dangerous conditions to raise money for the Adrian Peterson Foundation. –al weems
