On September 14, 2008, the Chris Draft Family Foundation welcomed special guests from Gateway Elementary School in St. Louis to the Character Team™. As the week’s special Draft’s Picks™, the students were joined at the game by their principal, Dr. Rose Howard.  

In addition to the students from Gateway Elementary School, the Foundation also welcomed Isaac Singleton, Jr. and his family to the game against the New York Giants.  Isaac, a ninth grader at Metro Academic and Classical High School met Chris Draft at Mark Bulger’s Make-A-Wish Foundation Dinner.  Chris was so impressed with Isaac’s story he invited him to the game as one of his special Draft’s Picks™.  

The Foundation welcomes Draft’s Picks™ as their hand-picked ambassadors, charged with sharing the message and lessons from carefully planned events back to their respective community thereby extending the messages beyond a single event or day.  Draft’s Picks™ help the Chris Draft Family Foundation extend the mission that is the driving force behind all activity – empowering and uplifting communities by educating families to make healthier choices.
