EDUCATION ROCKS – COYOTES & THE GENERAL SUPPORT SCHOLARSHIP CONCERT

(RANCHO MIRAGE) – Chuck Negron – a founding member of legendary rockers ‘Three Dog Night’ – performed for charity Friday night at Agua Caliente Resort, with all proceeds supporting the college scholarship fund of the Indian Wells Rotary Club.

The SoCal Coyotes Non-Profit Sports Leadership Organization and corporate partner General Air Conditioning & Plumbing were among sponsors who supported the program, which was orchestrated by Conrad Negron, a Coyote board member, president-elect of the Indian Wells Rotary – and cousin of the famous performer.

Negron’s ‘Music for Scholars’ played to a full house in the beautiful Agua Caliente showroom, and also featured singer Tom Solis, and a special Veterans Day salute to the Troops by the Satin Dollz.

Coyotes head coach J David Miller, Senior Vice President Ron DiGrandi, and team captain and two-tour U.S. Marine Jake Sheffield were among the Coyote contingent in attendance.

The undefeated #11-ranked Coyotes finished 2016 as the only team in the entire state of California in the national Top 30 — and #1 in the Western Region.

CONVEYOR BELT OF CHARACTER – The four-time champion SoCal Coyotes non-profit sports leadership organization is a conveyor belt of character, competence, and connection, delivering life-changing leadership skills to more than 30,000 Coachella Valley youth each year through an array of programs, camps, clinics and expos.

SEVENTY PLAYERS EACH YEAR earn the distinction of ‘Defending the Shield’ in the uniform of the SoCal Coyotes. Many will earn a shot with NFL, CFL or AFL opportunities, or graduate into business careers.

FAITH, FAMILY, FOOTBALL is the real mission of the Coyotes – and not surprisingly, something that dates back to the great Vince Lombardi in 1959. More than game tape. More than a weight room. More than a 40 time. The Coyote mission reaches far beyond the actual gridiron, deep into the development of young athletes as fathers, husbands, and men.

DISCOVER how The Pro Football Educator, operated by former Denver Broncos GM and two-time Super Bowl winner Ted Sundquist, selected the SoCal Coyotes as America’s #1 Developmental Pro Football Program.
