Welcome to Wine & Food Week 2011
JARVIS GREEN
Wine Wizard Master of Ceremonies
2 Time Super Bowl Champion, Philanthropist, Entreprenuer, Wine Enthusiast and Collector. Jarvis Green, defensive lineman for the Houston Texans, has come a long way from his roots in the small town of Donaldsonville, LA. The former LSU construction engineering major virtually runs through his opponents on the field, racking up sacks and causing fumbles. When the pads and helmet come off, he remains humble. And has a glass of wine.
A stanch servant to the less fortunate, Green founded was awarded the New England Patriots Ron Burton Community Service Award in 2006 and founded the Jarvis Green Foundation in 2007 to provide support to single working mothers in disadvantaged, low-income areas (i.e., Hurricane Katrina single mothers). The Foundation's first event was a September 2007 wine tasting and silent auction, which raised money for single mothers affected by Hurricane Katrina.
