President George W. Bush will meet Tyrone Keys and Jasmine Lane when he arrives in Tampa, Florida, on Saturday, November 2. Keys, a former Tampa Bay Buccaneer, is the founder and executive director of All Sports Community Service, Inc. a nonprofit organization that helps at-risk youth earn opportunities to pursue a college education. Lane, a junior at South Florida University, volunteers full-time as a program assistant and event coordinator for All Sports.

In his State of the Union address, President Bush called on all Americans to dedicate at least two years over their lifetime to service to their communities, our country and the world. President Bush is recognizing individuals around the country who are answering the call to service and will recognize Keys and Lane as examples of the dedication to service he is hoping to instill in all Americans through his USA Freedom Corps initiative.

Keys, a former defensive end with the Chicago Bears, San Diego Chargers, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, started All Sports in 1993 to help at-risk students attend and complete college. Through the program Tampa business and community leaders provide mentoring, internship and volunteer service opportunities to high school students, and help them apply for college admission and financial assistance. Engaging students in volunteer service projects is an important part of the programÍs design, and each participating student must dedicate at least 25 hours to community service during each semester of college as part of their ongoing relationship with All Sports.

Lane is a junior at South Florida University who volunteers full-time as a program assistant and event coordinator at All Sports. Formerly a volunteer with the Tampa Police Athletic League and the Northside Mental Health Center, Lane now manages all office duties and coordinates community service events and activities at All Sports.

Since 1998, Huffman has been a mentor with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Sioux Falls. Each week, Huffman meets with his ñlittle brotherî of four years to help with schoolwork and share everyday activities. Huffman introduced his little brother to community theater and the two of them appeared in a production last December. Big Brothers and Big Sisters volunteers like Huffman offer supportive relationships with caring adults to hundreds of thousands of children in 5,000 communities across the country. During high school and college, Huffman also volunteered as a coach and referee for youth athletic programs.

President Bush created the USA Freedom Corps office at the White House to foster an American culture of service, citizenship and responsibility. Through the USA Freedom Corps, President Bush wants to help every American answer the call to service by strengthening and expanding service opportunities to protect our homeland, support our communities and extend American compassion around the world.
