PKAdventure: "A Spiritual High"
For Immediate Release - Nov. 13, 2007
PKAdventure: “A
spiritual high” “Right on track” “Wow!”
Denver, Colo. – The inaugural PKAdventure cinema
event is in the books, and it was a hit!
Nearly 2000 men attended digital cinema events at a dozen movie theaters
around the continental United
States.
The 90-minute video presentation featured an exclusive interview with
champion pro football coach Tony Dungy,
a drama from L.A.-based Awaken,
music from the Promise Keepers music team PK7,
and emcee Reggie Dabbs. A wide range of local community service
projects were organized around the theater event.
“A real inspiration, a
REAL example”
Tony Dungy, whose book Quiet Strength is Amazon’s number 1
motivational book (and #53 overall), impressed the men with his down-to-earth
wisdom. “It was a great wake-up call to
see Tony Dungy never lose his focus,” said Randy Mason at the Walled Lake,
Mich. event. “I was encouraged to be a
light in the darkness.”
“I liked seeing a man like Tony Dungy find life’s purpose
through trusting God,” wrote another man to promisekeepers.org.
“Something we can do”
Half of the men who attended the theater experience also
participated in some form of community service.
Food drives were held in Mary Esther, Ft.
Lauderdale and Jensen
Beach, Fla., Indianapolis,
Walled Lake, Mich.,
Albuquerque, King of Prussia,
Pa., and Salt
Lake City.
Across all locations, an estimated ton of food was collected.
“This donation came just in time,” said Jannetta Lamort of
the Albuquerque Rescue Mission.. “We don’t want to turn anyone away, and the
shelves are a bit thin before the holiday donations really increase.”
Building repair, landscaping and light construction were
conducted with Habitat for Humanity and other local charities in Jensen Beach,
Fla., Cincinnati, King of Prussia, Myrtle Beach, S.C., and Salt Lake City. In Jensen
Beach, Fla. one young
widow saw 90% of her home repairs finished in a few hours. A landscaping crew spruced up the home of a
disabled Korean War veteran. At the Utah Dream
Center, men painted and
did roof repair.
Blood drives were carried out in Jensen
Beach, Albuquerque
and Nashville,
raising more than 30 units of blood.
Clothing drives were held in Portland, Ore., King of Prussia, Nashville
and Salt Lake City.
One attendee said, “PK is finally giving us something we can
do.”
Plan to attend the next edition of PKAdventure, scheduled
for Saturday, March 29th, 2008 at a digital movie theater near you.
