Artist Statement: This special Sing for Hope Piano, which features artwork inspired by the themes of football and New York City, was included as part of The NFL On Location Super Bowl Club pregame party adjacent to MetLife Stadium. NFL On Location is the National Football League™s official source for event experiences and hospitality. This Sing for Hope Piano was created alongside Kurt'ss wife Brenda Warner and their daughter, Sing for Hope Volunteer Artist Jesse Jo Warner.
Quarterback <strong>Kurt Warner</strong> was a dominant force in the NFL over the course of his career, leading the St. Louis Rams to victory in Super Bowl XXXIV and appearing in two additional Super Bowls with the Rams and the Arizona Cardinals. He was named to four Pro Bowls and earned two NFL MVP Awards and one Super Bowl MVP Award, in addition to numerous other awards and accolades. In 2008, he surpassed several Cardinals™ franchise records including touchdowns, attempts, completions, completion percentage, and passer rating. Arguably at his best in the postseason, Warner has earned several career postseason records, including the Super Bowl record for most career passing yards with 1,156 and the top three passing performances in Super Bowl history. In 2001, Kurt and his wife <strong>Brenda Warner </strong>established the First Things First Foundation, a non-profit public charity dedicated to impacting lives by promoting Christian values, sharing experiences and providing opportunities to encourage everyone that all things are possible when people seek to put first things first. He is now an analyst for the NFL Network and lives in Arizona with his wife and children. His eldest daughter, <strong>Jesse Jo Warner</strong>, is a Sing for Hope Volunteer Artist whose 2013 Sing for Hope Piano was exhibited in Clove Lakes Park on Staten Island.
