Street Kids Organization Director TJ Jorgensen announced today that the College Football Hall of Fame will host the teams annual awards banquet, which is slated for November 25^th at 4pm. The event will be held inside the Press Box, which is the HOF’s banquet hall. Street Kids marketing coordinator Alan Nutting met with a representative of the HOF on Tuesday and starting the ball rolling.

The elegant Press Box sits above the lobby of the HOF, with stunning, floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the inspiring three-story "Pursuit of a Dream" sculpture and outside to the Gridiron Plaza beyond. Located in the center of downtown South Bend, the Hall of Fame – built in 1995 – encompasses much more than college football. From intimate gatherings of 10 to lavish events serving up to 400 guests, the Hall of Fame provides the perfect atmosphere for the awards banquet.

“I am very excited for our team to be involved with the Hall of Fame,” said Jorgensen on Tuesday. “To me, the HOF represents sports in its purity and we are honored and very excited to be having the banquet at such an amazing venue.”

Jorgensen also announced that a special guest speaker is planning to attend the event, but would not release the name at this time.

Clark Foods will be supplying the dinner, thanks to Justin Sears, a long time member of the Street Kids team. There will be alcoholic beverages as well as pop/juice to drink. The team will be in need of volunteers to help with food preparation as well as set up and take down. Please contact TJ Jorgensen to find out how you can help.

The event will begin at 4pm and go until approximately 7pm. The reason for the early start is because of the Notre Dame/USC football game which begins at 8pm.

The awards banquet is open to all players and their families, as well as all friends, fans, readers of the web site and sponsors, along with their families. In order to attend, you must RSVP to TJ Jorgensen either by phone or by email. There is no cost for the event.
