“Let’s Talk Football” at
Federation’s Men’s Sports Night Out
with Heisman Trophy Winner Desmond Howard at
FAU Stadium’s Premier Club Lounge
Men who are passionate about sports as well
as helping the community are once again invited to go all in
for a tremendous evening devoted to both. They’ll be getting
together for the annual Men’s Sports Night Out main event on
February 9, 2012 at 6:30 pm - in an exciting new venue.
Desmond Howard, Heisman Trophy winner, Super Bowl MVP and
current ESPN college football analyst, will keynote and
mingle throughout the evening. Hall of Famer Dwight
Stephenson, an appearance by the Miami Dolphins
Cheerleaders, and other special guests will round out a
night to remember. Men’s Sports Night Out is presented by
and will benefit the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach
County.
“We’re thrilled to offer a chance to experience the Premier
Club Lounge, Level #3, at Florida Atlantic University’s
brand new
On-campus Stadium in Boca Raton,” said event Co-chair Craig
Donoff, a sports memorabilia collector of note. “Along with
great game day food and drinks, an auction including sports
memorabilia, a terrific speaker and more, the score is
adding up to the best of nights for men of all ages.”
Prior to the Main Event, a VIP Tailgate Party at 5:30 pm in
the Priority Club Lounge on Level #2 will welcome men with
minimum gifts of $1800 to the 2012 UJA/Jewish Federation of
South Palm Beach County annual campaign and Metro Ben Gurion
Society members. They’ll enjoy “pre-game” appetizers and
drinks and the opportunity to mingle with the special
guests.
“This Night Out is a great opportunity to enjoy a great
evening of sports with friends and make new contacts, while
helping support vital community services,” said Co-chair and
sports agent Glenn Schwartzman. “We know we’ll be getting
some real insider stories and analysis from Desmond Howard,
joined by Miami Dolphins Hall of Famer Dwight Stephenson.”
Desmond Howard began his 11-year pro football career with
the Washington Redskins as fourth overall pick of the 1992
NFL draft. His highlights include scoring the first
game-winning touchdown in Jacksonville Jaguars history and

Super Bowl remain NFL records. Howard was elected to the Pro
Bowl in 2000, and to the 2010 College Football Hall of Fame.
