AMERICUS — Former NFL player and Americus native Victor Green recently pledged his support of to Sumter Regional Hospital's (SRH) Souvenir Brick Drive.
Green played college football at the University of Akron. He entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 1993. By 1994, Green was the Jets starting strong safety. He played for the Jets through the 2001 season. Green played the 2002 season with the New England Patriots and the 2003 season with the New Orleans Saints. On April 4, 2006 he again signed with the Jets so that he could retire on the team he started his career with. In 2003, Green was honored by being named a member of the Jets Four-Decade Team. He currently operates a number of businesses and resides in the Atlanta suburb of Alpharetta.
SRH started the drive to give people a chance to own their piece of its 50-year-old facility, which was destroyed by the March 1st tornado last year and is currently being demolished in order to make way for a new facility. All of the net proceeds will go towards the building of the new facility, which is scheduled for groundbreaking in October of this year and an opening date of 2010.
Anyone interested in making a donation for a brick can call (229) 928-4000 and ask for someone in the Marketing & PR Department or go online at www.sumterregional.org.
