Super Man, Super Bowl


(Fair Use)
Although Superman is a mythical hero, Steven Skinner is as real as it gets.

Known for giving his all to family, friends and associates, Skinner had two sterling careers: one in the Navy, and the other in business.  As a “decorated commander,” he mentored young people wanting to enlist.  As an employer, his door was open to employees and their concerns.  As a family man, he’s been “a rock.”

Recently diagnosed with glioblastoma (an aggressive brain tumor), Skinner was told he has six months to live.  Attending the Super Bowl has long been on his bucket list, so Skinner’s son got to work.  Andrew Skinner started a GoFundMe page in order to help fulfill his father’s dream.

Contributions poured in from far and wide, as well as from the NFL itself - thus making Skinner’s dream come true.  This is a far greater win than even the Patriots pulled off.
