The Moyer Foundation, founded by MLB pitcher Jamie Moyer and his wife, Karen, are joining together with The Mario Batali Foundation to present their "Super Bowl Super Brunch" on Saturday, February 6th from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., poolside, at the Viceroy Hotel in Miami. This brunch has tickets priced at $1,000 and will be hosted by the Moyers and Batali, with honorary celebrity co-chairs - Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Buffett and Emeril Lagasse. Other guests will include professional athletes and sports personalities. The afternoon will feature a gourmet brunch designed by Batali, wine and specialty cocktails, cooking demonstrations by Batali and Lagasse, live entertainment and a silent auction. Proceeds from the special event will benefit The Moyer Foundation's Camp Erin™ program and The Mario Batali Foundation. “I couldn’t be more excited to be teaming up with my good friends Jamie and Karen Moyer to help benefit these very important children’s charities,” said Mario Batali, founder of The Mario Batali Foundation. “The Super Bowl is one of the all time American pastimes and I can’t wait to “turn it up a notch” with an all star list of celebrity guests, delicious Italian comestibles and amazing entertainment.”

In the short-lived world of professional sports Jamie Moyer is a bit of a legend. He has spent 22 seasons in Major League Baseball and will enter the 2010 season as the oldest pitcher in the game at the age of 47. Moyers and his wife, Karen are extremely active off the field as well. Together they founded The Moyer Foundation which has a mission to provide comfort and support to children enduring a time of profound physical, emotional or financial distress. The Moyer Foundation has raised more than $19 million to assist over 200 different non-profit organizations that serve the needs of children in severe distress. The Moyer Foundation created and funds Camp Erin, the largest national network of bereavement camps for children and teens. “Karen and I are thrilled and honored to be teaming up with Mario Batali to help children. With the other celebrities and athletes involved, this is definitely not your typical Super Bowl party,” said Jamie Moyer, co-founder of The Moyer Foundation. “Both of our Foundations are helping children and together we will make a bigger difference while at the same time enjoying a great experience you can’t find anywhere else Super Bowl weekend.”
