Pro Soccer Player Patrick Ianni Spends Time with Youth at the Austin Foundation in Seattle

On Saturday, September 11, 2010 professional soccer player Patrick Ianni visited with 16-19 year-old youth members of the Austin Foundation at Garfield Community Center in Seattle, Washington. During his visit, Pat shared his experiences as a professional athlete and promoted the benefits of sports and of healthy eating. The youth in attendance were very interested in what Pat had to say and got a chance to ask him questions and meet him personally.

Patrick’s visit was a part of Athletes for Hope’s 9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance campaign. The Austin Foundation’s fitness and nutrition programs provide youth with access to a safe exercise environment and encourage them to live healthy lifestyles.
