Green Bay Packers running back Ryan Grant and his girlfriend, Lita Lewis, arrive at a prom for Burlington Catholic Central High School at Hawk's View Golf Club in Lake Geneva Friday. Grant paid for the prom in exchange for the students' help in raising money for the Ryan Luxem scholarship, which goes to students at Wilmot High School in memory of Ryan Luxem, who died of leukemia shortly after Christmas.

I think he did that last year too??? I know I read about this before and I don't think it was this year's prom unless they were setting it up back in Sept-Oct.
But on a side note I bet Ryan looks pretty in a powder blue suit. :magnifyglass:

I remember reading about it before. Maybe it was just before or just after the young man whom Grant had become close to, passed away.

Yes that it true. But the reason Grant chose BC (he oculd have picked any school anywhere in WI) was that was the school that young Ryan was to attend. I read about it back in March. I thought it was longer ago than that.
This article says the school was near to where the Luxem's lived but does not say that young Ryan attended it. I can not find the March story that says so one way or the other.

got it.
Ryan was 11.

Grant told the students he chose Burlington Catholic Central for three reasons: It is close to the Luxem home in Union Grove; his marketing agent, Stacy Jenson, has a niece and nephew, Foote, attending the school; and because Grant went to Catholic schools Don Bosco Prep in New Jersey and the University of Notre Dame and felt comfortable asking another Catholic school for help.

I would think this would be one of the joys of earning the type of money they do, to be able to do things like this.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?
