" Our dinner was a terrific hit with our members, which was topped off with an inspirational speech by Sarah Thomas. Sarah's down-to-earth story of a star college athlete and her groundbreaking entry into the NFL demonstrates again that hard work, tenacity and perseverance are the keys to success regardless of one's gender or background. And with the new NFL season starting last night, the crowd loved her story and her passion for the high-profile job she will take up again Sunday at the Buffalo-Pitsburgh game, " said Jim 10 Women2Women | Fall 2021
