Football star to share his experiences leading teams to victory and forming the Brees Dream Foundation to help cancer patients and children and families in need
SILICON SLOPES, Utah, Feb. 07, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today Domo (Nasdaq: DOMO) announced that 2009 Super Bowl MVP-winning quarterback, Drew Brees, will be a keynote speaker at Domopalooza 2019. A two-time Heisman finalist, Brees attended Purdue University where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Management from the prestigious Krannert School of Management, and led the Boilermakers to a Big Ten Championship and Rose Bowl appearance during the 2000 season. In Brees’ 16 years in professional football, he has been elected to 12 Pro Bowls while being named 2004 Comeback Player of the Year, 2006 All-Pro Team, 2006 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year, 2008 and 2011 NFL Offensive Player of the Year, and Super Bowl XLIV Champion and MVP.
As much pride as Brees takes in his on-field performance, he takes even more pride in his community service endeavors. Drew and his wife, Brittany, established the Brees Dream Foundation in 2003 and since then have contributed more than $33,000,000 to help improve the quality of life for cancer patients and provide care, education and opportunities for children and families in need.
“Drew Brees is a leader on-and-off the football field. His career trajectory demonstrated that there’s more to being a champion than what meets the eye. Not only has he led his teams to collegiate and professional football’s highest achievements, he and his wife have helped many people in need,” said Josh James, founder and CEO at Domo. “We’re looking forward to having Drew share his perspective on achieving his goals and taking action on the calling to serve others.”
Several Domopalooza keynote speakers and entertainers have been announced including former U.S. government and Microsoft CIO Tony Scott and legendary R&B group Boyz II Men. Additional mainstage speakers and entertainers will be shared soon.
