June 23 , 2008
Jeff Francoeur is about to be on fire! Jeff will appear on ESPN’s "Jim Rome is Burning" later this month as a Rome Show correspondent. Cameras followed Jeff during batting practice leading up to the Braves’ June 21st game against the Seattle Mariners for a one-of-a-kind look behind the scenes. The segment will air during the show’s 4:30 pm EDT time slot. Be sure to check JeffFrancoeur.com for updates as soon as ESPN’s broadcast schedule is solidified!
In other off-the-field news, Jeff will film a public service announcement Tuesday, June 24, for Dream House, an Atlanta-area charity that is very close to Jeff’s heart. Dream House is a unique transition care program for medically fragile children in Georgia that provides education, skills training, home modifications, equipment and healthcare supplies to families in need. Delta Airlines, an official sponsor of Jeff Francoeur, donates 25,000 Delta SkyMiles to Dream House each time Jeff hits a home run. Find out more about Dream House at www.dreamhouseforkids.org.
Also on Tuesday, Jeff will film a segment for AtlantaFalcons.com with new Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan and tackle Sam Baker. The segment with Jeff will be one of Ryan and Baker’s stops on a tour of Atlanta, all of which will air on AtlantaFalcons.com in the coming months.
