You'll meet a huge need in the inner city ... HUNGER ... and shine the love and mercy of Jesus.
From college ballplayers to seasoned businessmen and everyone in between, a strong motivator can stimulate success in all aspects of life. On Feb. 15, the ninth annual All-Star Breakfast, hosted by international sports ministry Athletes in Action, will showcase coaches and athletes who lead and inspire in the game of basketball, and beyond.
During the breakfast, Athletes in Action is honoring former LSU coach Dale Brown with the 2014 Jerry Colangelo Award. Though Brown holds the second highest number of wins in SEC basketball history, his legacy reaches far beyond the court. An author, nationally syndicated radio host and international speaker, Brown continues to motivate people of all ages to have winning attitudes about work and life.
The All-Star Breakfast will also feature New Orleans' Pelicans head coach Monty Williams, winner of the 2014 Bobby Jones Award. As one of the youngest head coaches in the NBA, Williams has a notable record both in wins and in morale for his team. While not on the court in New Orleans, Williams dedicates his time to the U.S. Olympic men's basketball team, Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the NBA’s Basketball Without Borders program.
