Siran Stacy had it all: A well-decorated and successful college football career as the featured tailback playing at the University of Alabama, a childhood dream. Asecond round NFL draft pick by the PhiladelphiaEagles and career in the newly formed NFL Europeleague. Following his footballcareer, a sucessful career in themortgage industry. A beautifulwife and family.

However, his life would change forever in 2007 when a drunkdriver hit his family vehicle, leaving only himself and his 4-year-old daughter to survive.

Join us on this very special day...and invite a friend...as we welcome Siran Stacy, sharing his incredible story of God’s love and triumph in the midst of personal tragedy.
