Dear Community Stakeholder:
On behalf of the
Aliquippa Council of Men and Fathers, an initiative of the Franklin Center of
Beaver County, we invite you to join us for “How to Succeed in Professional
Athletics and Other Alternative Paths to Success,” a symposium on the student-athlete. This free event will
take place on May 17, 2014 from 8am-4pm at the Aliquippa Jr/Sr High Black Box
Theatre.
As someone who is
actively engaged in the lives of our student-athletes, we believe that you
possess valuable insights into the questions and issues that they confront now,
and may encounter after graduation from high school. These questions and issues
include the following: How important is it to obtain the academic skills
necessary for post-secondary success and beyond? Is athletic success valued
over academic achievement in our homes and schools? The importance of exposing
our kids to opportunities in the marketplace such as: law enforcement, public
transportation, military careers; local, state and federal government etc.
Former athletes, career
specialists and professionals will present alternative/additional career
choices and advice on how to navigate the peaks, valleys and pitfalls of the
student-athletes journey.
We need you! Come join us for a great, informative
and fun day. If you need more information contact Shon Owens or Lispert Dowdell
by phone or email. Phone: 724-378-2882 or email: sowens@franklincenter.org
or ldowdell@franklincenter.org.
RSVP by Friday May 9, 2014.
See you at the Black
Box!
