Check out the David Tyree interview -- the now famous New York Giant was interviewed last week on 660 WFAN radio on the Boomer and Carlson show. David scored the touchdown to give the New York Giants the lead against the Patriots' and then caught the pivotal pass that led to one of the greatest upsets in NFL history. He will be honored this Thursday evening, March 13 by Children of the City at the Tribeca Rooftop in New York City.

"It is all about the children," said Tyree, who is from New Jersey. He is one of ther 50 most charitable guys in the league, and giving back is really important to him. He will be receiving the Children's Champion award at their gala where Steve Schirripa of the Sopranos, and Richard Jefferson of the New Jersey Nets will inspire an evening of fun and surprises. David has been working with the organization for the last two years. The charity has served the children and families of Southwest Brooklyn for more than two decades.

On the infamous Sunday his wife was nine months pregnant, but she flew to California and saw him play at the Bowl in Glendale, California. Their twin baby girls were born two weeks ago, joining his two sons.

As many of you know from my own website, Rocco Basile.org, I am a huge fan of the programs sponsored by Children of the City. The charity's goal is to reach at-risk inner-city children and youth with hope, guidance andresources to positively affect their lives and communities. Children of the City comes alongside those we serve and not only meets their needs and connects them to resources to address their current crises—we also educate and empower them to break the negative and destructive cycles in their lives and to take responsibility for change in their environment, and their community.

Strong Minds and Strong Homes is one program that fosters a great response. Volunteers reach out to hook up with kids and families in Southwest Brooklyn and connects them with services they might not otherwise seek out on their own.
