Dale City, Va. –– Retired Washington Redskins linebacker Ken Harvey has some advice to share with parents and young people Monday night.
He addressed the more than 150 who attended the Hylton Boys and Girls Club Steak and Steak charity dinner in Dale City.
“There are those in this world who receive but do not give, and there are those who give and do not receive,” said Harvey. “My life has been full of people who have given to me, and sometimes I forgot along the way how many people helped me to become where I am today.”
A first-round draft pick in 1988, and currently the owner of a consulting firm, Harvey reminded the community of the mission of the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Greater Washington area –– to build bright futures.
In addition to a steak dinner, there was a silent auction to benefit the Boys and Girls Club.
The event drew several business owners, including Jenny Caro of Jewelry By Design, and politicians from the Prince William County Board of Supervisors, state delegates, senators and congressmen.
Everyone in the audience heard firsthand about the importance of raiding children to become better leaders, and to show them to take chances.
“There is nothing worse for people on their deathbed to say ‘I could’ve, or I should’ve,’” said Harvey.
At the end of the night, children in the audience who are members of the Boys and Girls Club were each presented digital cameras.
