MaryAlica DemlerWho Mentored You?
My dad.


What did this person do that inspired, helped or encouraged you?

He taught me the importance of hard work, mental toughness and dedication to whatever task you decide to do whether its sports or school work, so my dad was my biggest mentor growing up.

What would you say if you could thank this person today?
If I could just say thank you to my dad today I would tell him thank you for all the time and effort that he put into not only myself but for my brothers and sisters growing up, he did so much for us.  He would always, whatever sport it was - basketball, baseball or football he was always out in the driveway or out in the yard practicing with us and taking us places, buying us baseball gloves and bats and just spending a lot of time and effort with us to make us better.  So I would just say thank you for all the things you did for us growing up and without everything that you did, I definitely wouldn’t be in the NFL today.






You've been thinking about getting involved. Now that you know how easy it is and the importance of volunteering, Why not apply to be a Big today?
