Tony Dungy, the Super Bowl, and Adoption

Pop Quiz:  What do Tony Dungy, the Super Bowl, and adoption all have in common?

The Answer:  They're all coming together today to help advance the cause of adoption around the world!  Read on....

With the Super Bowl being played today in Indianapolis, where Tony Dungy coached the Indianapolis Colts for a number of years (and has his own Super Bowl ring from coaching them to a win in 2007), it's the best combination to highlight Coach Dungy and his desire to raise awareness of adoption to the millions of people that will be watching the game today. 


Being an adoptive dad himself, Coach Dungy has partnered with The Adoption Journey Project to help raise awareness of the current orphan crisis and to encourage families to consider adoption.  The 30 second PSA will air on the electronic billboards at Lucas Oil Stadium as people arrive to watch the game, and has the ability to reach an even broader audience through the website and video links.  For people or churches who want to take it even further, there are a number of online resources and follow up discussions that can help people think through their own response to adoption, begin the journey themselves, or support others who are in the process.

Check out the 30 second PSA version below (and a separate, extended version available to download or show at your own party or event):



Here's a separate, extended version of a video by Coach Dungy and his wife talking more about the orphan crisis and call to adoption.
