SUPER BOWL: Tauren Wells, a two-time GRAMMY® nominee, has been asked to perform at a benefit that will be held during Super Bowl week in Houston, Wells' hometown, supporting the organizations 21 Strong Foundation and We See Abilities. With the influx of superstar athletes coming to town, the charity event is hoping to raise awareness and support for Grant Milton, an area high school football player who suffered a severe brain injury at the end of the season and is currently in a coma at Houston's TIRR Memorial Hermann hospital. Along with Sports Illustrated doing a story about Grant Milton, many NFL players have offered their support to the his family and will be participating in the benefit and silent auction in addition to Wells' performance. Those planning to attend the event include Baltimore Ravens and future Hall of Famer Ray Lewis, Brandon LaFell from the Cincinnati Bengals, New England Patriots' Joseph Addai, and many more current and former pro players.
