Redefining Success One Student at a Time | Excel to Excellance

Richmond native, NFL veteran, Super Bowl champion, and sports broadcaster Michael Robinson returned to his hometown with a few of his NFL friends for the Celebrity Waiter Event and Live Auction presented by Excel to Excellence. Robinson’s program is dedicated to ensuring all children have access to the educational opportunities, resources, and life experiences they need to achieve their dreams and become productive citizens.

Jason Ford participated in the event by creating three separate paintings, each of which was auctioned off during a dinner at Morton’s The Steakhouse in Richmond, Virginia. Robinson hosted the evening, with Wes McElroy serving as maître d’.

Celebrity waiters included Marshawn Lynch and Richard Sherman of the Seattle Seahawks, Andre Branch of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Byron Maxwell of the Philadelphia Eagles, Chris Baker and Jeron Johnson of the Washington Redskins, along with other professional athletes and celebrity guests.

Proceeds from the event benefit the Excel to Excellence program, furthering its mission to empower and inspire the next generation.
