NFL Players making a difference
Edited on Fri Jun-24-05 06:16 PM by ls317
HARRISBURG, N.C. — Searching Charlotte for a child care center for his young daughter, Carolina Panther Mike Rucker couldn't find a place that had everything he and his wife were looking for.

Around the same time, Rucker's teammate and fellow former University of Nebraska standout Mike Minter was looking for a business venture. Sitting in a pitch meeting, discussing the benefits of investing in a learning center, Minter suddenly stopped trying to sell the idea to the rest of the group.

"I got really excited about it and said ‘This is something I can do myself, why am I trying to get someone else to do it?' " he recalled.
