NEW ORLEANS - Miss America 2007 LAUREN NELSON will sing the National Anthem at ArenaBowl XXI New Orleans, the AFL announced today. ArenaBowl XXI will be played at New Orleans Arena on Sunday, July 29 at 2 p.m. CT. It will be the first team championship in New Orleans since the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.
Nelson is a Goodwill Ambassador for Children's Miracle Network. In January, the Miss America Organization chose it as its first-ever national platform. The children's charity, which raises money for kids in children's hospitals throughout North America, also became a partner of the AFL last year making the inclusion of Miss America at ArenaBowl XXI New Orleans a perfect union.
"It is a privilege for me to be in New Orleans and to perform at this wonderful spectator sporting event where I am proud to represent the Miss America Organization and Children's Miracle Network," Nelson stated. "Together with the AFL, we are helping to make miracles happen for so many wonderful children across this great country."
"I am thrilled that AFL fans will be treated to pregame pageantry that will include a performer of such iconic status as Miss America," said Commissioner DAVID BAKER. "Working with the Miss American Organization and the Children's Miracle Network was a natural fit for the AFL because all groups believe in taking an active role in shaping America's youth."
Nelson will also make an appearance at the ADT ArenaBall Awards Gala on Friday, July 27 at The Sugar Mill beginning at 6 p.m. CT.
