"LifePath has always given so much to those in need over the years. It's always a joy to talk to the clients of LifePath and their families and learn how one organization has helped them develop, grow, and succeed. Hopefully with this fundraiser, we can help give back to an organization that has provided assistance to individuals with developmental disabilities within our own community." — Vincent Hartzell, Director of Patient Care Services, Hartzell's Pharmacy Where: When: Native Pennsylvanian, Legendary NFL Coach and Analyst Mike Ditka To Be Featured Keynote Speaker at Annual LifePath Benefit and Awards Luncheon
Legendary National Football League (NFL) coach and analyst, Mike Ditka will be the keynote speaker at the 13th annual LifePath & Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ (PICPA) Thanksgiving benefit and awards luncheon Wednesday, November 24, 2010 at the Holiday Inn Conference Center, Fogelsville, PA. This annual event assists LifePath in raising awareness of the needs of individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities. Last year’s luncheon was attended by 600 guests and raised more than $117,000 to support LifePath’s programs and services, which include residential and day programs, vocational training, respite care, life sharing and supported living, outpatient mental health services, early intervention and a dedicated pediatric care facility. Past event speakers include Super Bowl championship-winning coach, Dick Vermeil; Phillies’ All-Star, John Kruk; Phillies’ Hall of Fame third baseman, Mike Schmidt; Buffalo Bills’ Hall of Fame quarterback, Jim Kelly; and Notre Dame football legend, Rudy Ruettiger.

He had an immediate impact, catching 56 passes and earning NFL Rookie of the Year honors. Ditka played five more seasons with the Bears, earning a Pro Bowl trip each year, before being traded to Philadelphia in 1967. After two years with the Eagles, he played four more in Dallas, where he caught a touchdown pass in the Cowboys' 24-3 win over the Dolphins in Super Bowl VI. The final accolade to Ditka's outstanding playing career was bestowed upon him 16 years after his retirement when he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame (1988). His 427 career receptions included 75 catches in 1964, a NFL record for tight ends until San Diego's Kellen Winslow broke it in 1980. Ditka still holds four Bears records: consecutive games with a reception, touch down receptions, most receptions by a rookie, and most touchdown catches by a rookie. Ditka retired from playing following the 1972 season, but was hired by Cowboys' head coach Tom Landry as an offensive assistant and special teams coach. In Ditka's nine seasons the Cowboys were in the playoffs eight times, won six division titles, three NFC Championships, and the NFL crown following the 1977 campaign. Prior to the 1982 season, Ditka signed on as head coach of the Chicago Bears, taking over a team that had had just two winning seasons in the previous 19 years. During his ten-year tenure as head coach, Ditka led the Bears to six NFC Central titles, three additional appearances in the NFC title game (each time, their opponent went on to win the Super Bowl), and a Super Bowl victory (1986). He has been awarded Coach of the Year honors (1985 and 1988) by The Sporting News, the Associated Press, and pro football writers. Ditka is one of only two men to have won a Super Bowl as a player, assistant coach, and head coach. He is also one of only four head coaches to have recorded over 100 coaching victories in only ten seasons. Having retired from coaching after the 1992 season, Ditka served as an NFL analyst on NBC-TV's Sunday NFL news and highlight show, NFL Live, until January 1997, when he became the coach for the New Orleans Saints. After a short stint with the Saints, Ditka rejoined the NBC network (1993 - 1996) as an analyst on NFL Live and as a color commentator for other NBC broadcasts. Today, Ditka is a member of The NFL Today, the CBS Television Network’s NFL pre-game studio show. Born October 18, 1939 in Carnegie, Pennsylvania, Ditka was raised in nearby Aliquippa, where his father Mike Sr. worked on the railroad. He was a three-sport star at Aliquippa High School, playing basketball and baseball as well as football. He enrolled at the University of Pittsburgh and was an all-American as a senior in 1960. Ditka played defensive end, linebacker, tight end, and ranked among the nation's top punters with a 40-yard average in his final three seasons. The cost to attend the luncheon is $90 per person or $900 per table of ten. Sponsorship opportunities are available. The event will also feature great networking opportunities, a silent auction and cocktail reception.
