The Maxwell Football Club - Louisiana Chapter Invites
Drew Brees and Sean Payton to Lafayette
Lafayette, LA: Join the Maxwell Football Club-Louisiana Chapter, as they travel to the 73rd Annual Maxwell Football Club Awards Banquet on March 5, 2010 at Harrah's Casino, Atlantic City, NJ where New Orleans Saints Quarterback Drew Brees will be presented with the Bert Bell Professional Player of the Year Award and Coach Sean Payton will be presented with the Greasy Neale, Professional Coach of the Year Award. Other honored guests in attendance from the Saints include: Tom Benson, Rita Benson-Leblanc, and Jahri Evans.

Students from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Kinesiology Student organization started the membership drive for the new Maxwell Football Club-Louisiana Chapter this past fall.

“We will be personally inviting Drew Brees and Coach Payton to Acadiana during a special Maxwell Football Club VIP dinner in Atlantic City,” said Dr. Brian Campbell, president of the Louisiana Chapter of the Maxwell Football Club. “The support of the local business community and fans is needed though in order for this event to be successful.”

Help the Louisiana Chapter of the Maxwell Football Club invite Drew Brees and Coach Payton to Lafayette with the purchase of a “Congratulations” ad in the 73rd Annual Maxwell Football Club Awards Banquet Program. Over 800 people will be in attendance at the awards banquet this year, including members of the Louisiana Chapter and Students from UL Kinesiology Student Club and most importantly award honorees Drew Brees and Coach Sean Payton.

“We want to take this opportunity to show Brees, Payton and the rest of the Saints Football Team that the “Who Dat” Nation is alive in Lafayette with congratulations messages and sponsor ads in the Maxwell Football Club Awards Banquet Souvenir program,” said Campbell.

Media outlets from across the nation will be on hand at the Awards Press Conference and Banquet. “We want the Saints to be so overwhelmed with the support from our area that they have no choice but to come down here with that Lombardi Trophy for a photo session with the good people of the area,” said Campbell, who is a professor of Biomechanics at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in the Department of Kinesiology.

Last fall the Louisiana Chapter of the Maxwell Football Club kicked off their membership drive with guest of honor Vince “Mr. Invincible” Papale, former Eagles football player who against all odds was invited to the Eagles training camp as a walk on and made the team. Papale played for three seasons with the Eagles. “This year, the Louisiana Chapter of the Maxwell Football Club would like to have two time Maxwell Football Club Award winners Drew Brees, and Coach Sean Payton as our guest of honor,” said Campbell. Brees won the Maxwell Award, Collegiate Football Player of the Year in 2000 and Coach Sean Payton was awarded the Greasy Neale Professional Coach of the Year Award in 2006. “Against all odds, the New Orleans Saints showed the Colts and the World that they were “invincible” , lets continue to celebrate the Saints Superbowl Championship in Lafayette, help us invite Brees, Payton and the Saints with the purchase of your tax deductible ad in the Maxwell Football Club Award Banquet Program,” said Campbell. “If you knew you could take out a personal message to Drew Brees, Coach Payton, and other Saints brass knowing they would read your messages, I think most people in our community would not hesitate.”

Businesses and individuals can purchase their ad online at: www.maxwellfootballclub.org or E-mail your ad to mwolpert@maxwellfootballclub.org. Please be sure to mention Lafayette or Acadiana in your messages and ads!
