Larry Fitzgerald, Jr. and Riddell Donates 1,000 Helmets to Youth Football Program
MINNEAPOLIS (July 8, 2013) -- Minneapolis native and Arizona Cardinals wide receiver LarryFitzgerald, Jr. andRiddell,the helmet industry leader, teamed together and donated 1,000 new
Riddell Revolution Speed Classic Youth football helmets to the Minneapolis Park and
Recreation Board's (MPRB) youth football program.
The event held at Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Park featured a welcome from MPRB
Superintendent Jayne Miller, remarks from Riddell President Dan Arment and the Riddell
leadership staff and MPRB Recreation Committee Chair and Commissioner at Large Bob Fine.
The event also included football activities with Fitzgerald and MPRB youth football players,
refreshments, free t-shirts for the youth and ice cream treats. Additionally, Riddell presented asampling of the different colors of helmets donated to the Park Board football teams.
The fact that the event was held at Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Park was one of special
importance to Fitzgerald. It was at that park where Fitzgerald played his first football game as ayoung boy in Minneapolis.
"Ever since I first started playing football as a young child at Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.Park in South Minneapolis, I have had a passion for the game," said Fitzgerald. "The teamwork,
the camaraderie and the intense physical competition make it an exciting game to play. But the
longer I play at the highest level, the more I understand the importance of playing wearingproper protective equipment."
Fitzgerald was looking for ways to help the MPRB youth football program when he discoveredthat Park Board recreation staff was already meeting with Riddell to explore investing in new
protective football equipment. Seeing an opportunity to help the same program that gave him his
start more than 20 years ago, Fitzgerald collaborated with Riddell to join forces and make a moresizeable donation that ensures all of the kids participating in the program would have access to
new, innovative helmet technology.
"We are so grateful to Larry and Riddell for their generosity," said Minneapolis Park andRecreation Board President John Erwin. "Thanks to their donation, 1,000 Minneapolis youth will
be outfitted with state-of-the-art head protection using the same technology used at football's
elite level."
In 2012, nearly 900 Minneapolis youth ages 9-14 are playing football through the MPRB youth
football program.

I am very excited that the improvements are underway to increase the communitys value of Webber Park in 2014 we
can look forward to bringing free swimming back to this neighborhood gem, said Minneapolis Park Board CommissionerJon Olson, who represents North Minneapolis. We had so many families and community members actively participatingin the planning process. Because of their input, this park will bring equity of summer lake-type activities to thisneighborhood and the region for generations to come.
BioNova Natural Pools and Landform,in conjunction with the MPRB, will be providing the design and consultingwork for the Webber pool project, scheduled for completion summer 2014. Webber will be the site of the first publicswimming pool in the United States with a natural filtration system; natural filtration pools have been built in several
locations throughout Europe. Featuring BioNova's patented biological filtration system, the pool is designed to use plantsin a nearby regeneration pond instead of chemicals to treat the water. For an enlarged image of the plans for the newWebber Park pool clickhere.
The new pool design includes a 4,500 square foot wading area with a maximum depth of 39 inches and a 16,800 squarefoot swimming area and lap pool that features five swimming lap lanes and a diving area with a maximum depth ofapproximately 13 feet. The new pool will offer triple the recreation space of the parks aging concrete pool and wading
pool that was removed in 2010. Additionally the new pool will include three sanded beach areas and a small walk bridge.

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WITH ANTI-DRINKING MESSAGE
The T2T Campaign Ramps Up Just in Time For Prom
ROBBINSDALE (April 20, 2012)-- Its prom season. And in addition to picking out dresses
and ordering tuxes, students from the northwest metro have been implementing an innovative
campaign to get parents and teens talking about underage drinking. Bright pink signs with T2T
on them have been popping up across the northwest suburbs. Its all part of an effort,
spearheaded by a North Memorial program called Partnership for Change, which focuses on
preventing underage drinking and drug use.
On Monday, April 23, the T2T campaign will ramp up at Maple Grove High School when
students blanket the entire front lawn of the campus with hot-pink signs, spreading the T2T
message. What does T2T stand for? For the past four weeks, a new T2T message has been
reveled through the campaigns social media outlets: Time 2 Think, Time 2 Teach, Talk 2 Teens
and Teen 2 Teen. The fifth and final message will be revealed this week, just in time for Maple
Groves prom which is April 28.
What:Maple Grove High School Students Ramp-up T2T Campaign by Placing Hundreds of
Bright Pink Signs on School Lawn

Students
Teen drinking and drug use too often is considered to be a teenage cultural norm on prom night
and graduation. The T2T campaign along with Partnership for Change focuses attention on
providing practical solutions to prevent teen drinking and drug use during this spring season.
We have implemented the campaign for the first time in northwest Hennepin County, said
LeeAnn Mortensen, Partnership for Change Coordinator. The campaign is an important
reminder during the upcoming prom and graduation seasons to keep students safe.
Over the past several weeks members of the T2T campaign have been spreading their message
throughout the community through lawn signs, flyers, website and social media directly to
students and schools. The schools involved in the campaign include Maple Grove Senior High
School, Osseo Senior High School and Park Center Senior High School.

Yard signs have popped up all over the community, including in residents yards, at the Osseo
Police Station and even in the yard of the District 279 Superintendant, said Mortensen. The
campaign is really gaining momentum.
Mortensen also adds that the overall goal of Partnership for Change is to help mobilize parents,
youth and community leaders to take a stand against drug and alcohol use in NorthwestHennepin County. In the end we hope to protect the health of the families in our communities
and ultimately save lives.

Heartbeat in a Bottle: Low-Tech, High-TouchBy: David Christians
North Memorial Medical CenterNew Heights Friday Newsletter
June 1, 2012
In September of 2011 North Memorial Medical Center initiated the Heartbeat in a Bottleprogram lead by Nora Krahn, RN, Homecare and Hospice Liaison, and Greg Bodin, Manager of
Pastoral Care. The Heartbeat in a Bottle is offered to the family members of patients in the
Intensive Care Unit (ICU) who are not expected to live long after extubation or after beingremoved from life-support. The family receives an electrocardiogram (EKG) strip of their loved
ones heartbeat, name and date inside a small bottle and a poem written by Krahn and 5
Southwest.
I think just the prospect of being able to offer this helps bridge the gap of the family moving
from grief to acceptance of the loss of a loved one, said Krahn. The Heartbeat in a Bottle is
unique to that specific loved one. Its like carrying a bit of their life with you.
Several Health Unit Coordinators (HUCs) have expressed to Krahn that families with loved ones
in the ICU really appreciate Heartbeat and love it the families feel cared for. The nurses
understand that what this program offers is a heart thing not a head thing. While much of theICU is surrounded by highly technical equipment the simplistic yet powerful Heartbeat in a
Bottle creates a definite contrast it is low-tech but high-touch.
The feedback were getting from families is that they love [the program], Krahn said. Nurses
love [Heartbeat in a Bottle] because its something they can do when theyre taking away life
support its something that they can give.
Krahn knew from day one that the Heartbeat in a Bottle program would make a strong impact
with families and staff members of North Memorial Medical Center. Thats because Krahn first
received a Heartbeat in a Bottle in 2010 of her grand-daughter, Kendra, who was only 23years-old.
Kendra was a dedicated and inspired nurse who loved her career. In 2008 her career ended whenshe was struck by a bullet to her brain however through determination, support and hard work
Kendra regained many of her losses. Unfortunately in October of 2010 she died as a result of a
fall and subsequent massive sub-dermal hematoma. Krahn carries Kendras Heartbeat in a
Bottle with her every day.
Krahn was touched when a nurse at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital in Norfolk, Virginia
presented her with a Heartbeat in a Bottle. She was so moved that Krahn decided to call
Sentara Norfolk General Hospital to ask if she could bring that same program back to NorthMemorial. The nurse in Norfolk was very enthusiastic that her Heartbeat idea was being
started at another hospital.

Norfolk Hospital didnt even think their Heartbeat in a Bottle was a program, said Krahn. It
really was just one nurse that was completely responsible for finding the bottles and getting
everything prepared for the family.
Since the programs inception in 2011 over 130 Heartbeat in a Bottle viles have been given to
families. Both Krahn and Bodin are very hopeful of the impact this new program can have onboth the families and employees of North Memorial Medical Center.
For a family to leave a hospital without their loved one but to have a Heartbeat in Bottle gift
is caring to a whole family unit and not just the patient, said Krahn. You can give excellentcare to the patient and ignore the family and Ive seen that and have experienced it happen. But
when you look beyond the patient to the family and offer them care thats remarkable.
Heartbeat in a Bottl e Poem:
Your heartbeat I hold in my hand. A simple strip of paper filled with your precious life.
The heart is the core of our being.
The place where we hold our joy and sorrow, our courage, or disappointments, our love our
loyalty and our faith.
Holding the image of your heart fills me with the special essence of you.
Though your heart no longer beats, this reminder permeates my heart, and I will carry you with
me each day.
In loving memory.
