Earlier this month, Estes Public Relations team members Alex Kruse and Kerri Daly traveled to Indianapolis, Ind. to attend the 21st annual Taste of the NFL’s Party with a Purpose®, a charitable event designed to raise awareness and money for the fight against hunger in each of the 32 NFL cities. Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana, one of the largest food banks in the nation, hosted this year’s event which partnered one chef with a retired or current NFL player from each of the participating cities. Representing the Indianapolis Colts was former player Ken Dilger and Estes PR’s very own chef Greg Hardesty of Recess and Room Four restaurants! Together the duo served guests Idaho Potato & Gunthorp Farms Pork Pozole.
Throughout the evening, guests were treated to exceptional cuisine, a silent auction featuring various sports memorabilia and special musical performances by the NFL Players Choir and multi-platinum country recording artist Sara Evans. Also in attendance were NFL honorary chair and head coach of the 2006-2007 Super Bowl Champion Indianapolis Colts Tony Dungy, the Emmy-award winning host of Food Network’s Chopped Ted Allen, professional NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon, TLC’s Cake Boss stars Mauro Castano and Joe Faugno and Miss America 2012 Laura Kaeppeler.
