NFL Chaplin Talk Drug Prevention with Morris Teens

National Football League's chaplin, Rev. Mike Bethune was one of the speakers.

It's Saturday night and while many teens are out and about, some are doing something quite different. This past Saturday, Morristown's George Gramby Foundation and Teen Pride Inc co-hosted the 'Up With Hope, Down With Dope' blow out.

In this free program, motivational speakers shared their stories with a group of teens. Speakers included the National Football Leagues' Chaplin, the Rev. Mike Bethune and two other dynamic young speakers.

Bethune is a speaker known for his "contagious, hope filled messages." He has played a key role in encouraging teams, including the 2008 Super Bowl champions, the New York Giants (as well as the Rams, Titans, Panthers, and Broncos) toward victory.
