| For many years now the Danish American Society has honored individuals for their
contributions and accomplishments in the communities where they have lived and
worked. |
| This year the Danish American Society has chosen one of Denmark’s best known
sports figures, Mr. Morten Andersen, as 2008 Man of the Year. Morten Andersen,
the National Football League’s career leading scorer and holder of many NFL
records will be honored at a Gala Dinner Dance on May 9, 2008 at the Loeb
Boathouse in Central Park, New York City. |
| After starring and setting several records while at Michigan State University,
including a Big Ten Conference record 63 yard field goal against Ohio State
University, Morten was named an All American in 1981. His NFL records include
all time leading scorer and career leader in field goals. Morten has played for
the New Orleans Saints, the Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings and the New
York Giants (Go Giants!). |
| Come join us for a memorable evening in one of New York’s most Tivoli like
settings, an evening that will be remembered as one of the most exquisite social
events of the season. |
| Guests will have the opportunity to meet one of Denmark’s leading sport’s
personalities, win fabulous NFL football prizes, listen to jazz, dance to the
big band sound and enjoy the amazing views with elegant and romantic lake side
dining in Central Park. |
| A contribution from the proceeds of the Danish American Society Man of the Year
Gala will be donated to the Ronald Mcdonald House of New York City, Inc .in honor
of Morten Andersen. |

Andersen’s support, their future will be brighter than ever. |
