Our 4th Annual David Akers Kicking in Spring event at Cescaphe Ballroom on June 3rd was another success and absolutely amazing night. I have to thank Lincoln Financial Group for being our presenting sponsor and great supporter of our foundation and to Jim Calla for chairing the event.
I know you were just as entertained and amazed as I was at the magic showed performed by my friend and teammate Jon Dorenbos who has become a part of our Kicks for Kids family.
I am so grateful to everyone who came that evening and your support is truly appreciated especially in these difficult financial times and thanks to you we can continue our programs at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

God Bless,
David

2008 Season of “Field of Dreams”
The 2008 Season of “Field of Dreams” was a fun exciting experience for 5 children who are receiving treatment at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and their families to go to a home Eagles game. Each family was surprised with a pick up at their home by a limousine filled with Eagles merchandise, field passes and tickets to the game.
About Our Organization
David Akers Kicks for Kids is a charity organization that provides assistance to the children and families being cared for at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
David's desire to give back to the community, as well as to help young people and families in need, motivated him to establish the David Akers' Kicks for Kids organization in the fall of 2001.
In Loving Memory
Our friend and board member Joe Brancato was recently diagnosed with cancer and has passed away. Joe was part of David Akers Kicks for Kids from the beginning and his committment to the foundation whether it was wrapping gifts, giving out Thanksgiving turkeys or helping to set up an event was a great asset to Kicks for Kids. His enthusiasm and sense of humor were gifts that he shared with all who knew him. Donations in Joe’s memory can be made to David Akers Kicks for Kids.

Ask David: Featured Question
Olin Wright asks... Which team puts the most pressure on you when you kick?
I know this might sound cliché, but preseason to the superbowl I get just as nervous. Thanks for your question. Thank goodness for Pepto!
