Sponsorship is available, contact [email protected]. As a testament to his belief in Orange Arrow, the planning for TEN began last spring with NFL great, and Steeler legend, Franco Harris, agreeing to be the Honorary Chair for this celebration. Since learning about the mission and work of Orange Arrow in 2016, Franco has been a supporter and influential member of the OA Family. His commitment to the mission was evident and highlighted when he and his former Penn State teammate, Lydell Mitchell, selected Orange Arrow in 2020 as the beneficiary for their annual Immaculate Reception fundraiser during the Super Bowl week in Miami. The sports and greater community lost an icon when we heard of his passing. Orange Arrow will continue to do good work as part of his inimitable legacy. We will produce a loving tribute at the event.
