“It’s not about the blocked punt or the Superbowl ring. It’s about the relationships, love and what you do when you walk out of this room.” – Steve Gleason
The Mid City Cyclones AAU Basketball Organization is sponsoring its 1st Annual Golf Tournament on June 1, 2012 at City Park Golf Club. As the organization grows, the number of young boys participating in the program continues to grow as well. So this year, all funds raised will go towards the Mid-City Cyclones’ program and Team Gleason, Steve Gleason’s foundation to raise awareness towards ALS.

I like crimemapping.com because it gives me an instant picture of where crime is in relation to where I live. If you are interested in seeing a map of crimes in our area:
Faubourg St. John neighbor, Vivian Cahn would like you to know that FEAST NOLA is a community dinner that unites creative, civic-minded individuals to invest in ideas and inspire action.
Put On Your Best Face
Last night the promotion for TEAM GLEASON struck again. “Put on Your Best Face” was installed on the garage of Matt and Stephanie who live on Ponce de Leon.
Many thanks to Frank Relle for this great promotion for Team Gleason. Look for more around the neighborhood soon!
Frank Relle says,
I was standing in the checkout aisle at the grocery when Steve told me he had been diagnosed with (ALS) Lou Gehrig’s disease. I assume he saw the color leave my face because in true Steve form he put things in perspective reminding me, “We all have limited time” and encouraging me to, “get busy living”. I didn’t know what to say, how do you respond when your friend tells you he has a terminal illness? What do you do?
Following Steve’s lead with his creation of TEAM GLEASON whose mission is to inspire, act, and learn; I decided to photograph an Inside Out Project in honor of Steve, Michel, Rivers and their countless supporters.
The idea of the project is to put on your best face and to “get busy living”.
The photographs will be posted on the walls around New Orleans in late April, 2012.
