COMMUNITY OUTREACH
The Community Outreach Committee is responsible for conveying to all segments

promote and facilitate opportunities for local businesses. This committee
will also develop a comprehensive youth outreach program that will provide
all students an opportunity to participate in Super Bowl XLI and will
work with the NFL to enhance the existing Youth Education Town (YET) Centers,
high-tech educational facilities designed to benefit economically disadvantaged
youth that were built during the two most recent Super Bowls in South
