Terrell Owens Helps Buffalo Families

He said he would and he did! Buffalo Bills wide receiver Terrell Owens hosted 81 local families to make the season a little brighter.

The Terrell Owens Catch A Dream Foundation is a non profit organization created to erase hunger and the lack of basic daily needs from households. 

During the month of December, as he celebrates his birthday, Owens accepts e-mails and selects families who may need financial assistance.  Owens spoke at length about why he gives back. 

This year, he says he was touched by a little boy in Buffalo who wrote that he did not have a father so he (the little boy) wants to be a role model for the family.

Owens hosted the event at the Ralph Wilson Fieldhouse and met everyone in the facility. 

Wearing a Santa hat, along with his helpers, Kita and Moe, Owens was accompanied by his mother and sister.

For Families who have not received anything yet, here's a message from the Foundation.

On behalf of the Catch A Dream Foundation we would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year. It was a pleasure meeting and seeing each and everyone that came out to enjoy the Family Fun Day on December 11, 2009.

There were over 100 families invited to come out to Family Fun Day and enjoy a special night full of laughter, games, food, fun, surprises and priceless memories that will forever be remembered by the kids. This special night was originally chosen for only 81 families, however, with the bad weather and unfortunate circumstances of mother nature it was in our hearts to extended the invitation to more families to enjoy and take advantage of something wonderful, even if for one night. The Blessings that we do have for the "81" families chosen extends beyond just the Christmas holiday. Keep in mind that there were many more that never received a phone call at all to enjoy a special day but we do our best to try to help as many people as we can throughout the year NOT just for the holiday season. The 81 families that were selected all received gift cards to assist with any additional needs that they have for the holidays and to use at their own discretion.
