Park Springs Welcomes Pro Football Players/Cheerleaders to Retirement Community

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 10, 2009 -- Stone Mountain, GA, November 10, 2009 -- Park Springs, the Southeast’s premier continuing care retirement community rolled out the red carpet for seven members of the Atlanta Falcons and two cheerleaders on Tuesday, October 6. The Falcons players, which included Jerious Nerwood, Jonathan Babineaux, Thomas DeCoud, Brian Finneran, Verron Haynes, Coy Wire and Kroy Biermann joined Members of Park Springs in some competitive games of Wii Bowling and sports trivia.

A few players also joined Members for some light exercise at Cobblestone, Park Springs’ health care center before hitting Park Springs’ Petanque court for a quick lesson on the game that originated in the southern France. The Falcons were on location as part of their “Hometown Huddle” program that disperses members of the team to locations throughout the metro Atlanta area.

“Any time you can give back it also brightens my day,” said Babineaux. “The guys are good with community service and we really enjoy what we do. Added Verron Haynes, “This is important…giving back is important. “Putting smiles on people’s faces is what it is all about.”

The players arrived at the Atlanta senior homes at 10 a.m. and stayed until shortly after 11:30 a.m. signing autographs until every Member had a chance to speak with each player. Many Park Springs Members enjoyed meeting the players as well as getting autographs and pictures for themselves and their grandchildren.

“I am really here representing my grandchildren,” said Fred Jerding. “My grandkids have been asking me the last couple of days if I met the Falcons yet. They will be happy to know that I met them today.”

In addition to Park Springs, an Atlanta retirement community, Falcons players also visited Long Middle School, H.M. Turner Middle School, Sandy Springs Middle School and Brown Middle School, all with Atlanta addresses, a Publix super market, a Home Depot location in Decatur and the Georgia Aquarium. The Falcons are the only NFL team that involves all 53 players on its roster in such a day.
