2011 Memphis March for Babies Set for April 30 at Shelby Farms

130 corporate quarterbacks attended a kickoff luncheon on Tuesday, February 8, 2011 designed to score big points for the Memphis March for Babies Walk. While it's unlikely any of the team players at this luncheon will ever throw a pass in the NFL or
hand-off a football in the college ranks, they will accomplish far reaching goals that will have a profound impact on the lives of those unable to fend for themselves.
