INDIANAPOLIS — On Tuesday, September 17, 2013, Indianapolis Colts WR LaVon Brazill and TE Dominique Jones spent the earlier part of their evening with approximately 40 senior citizens at the Forest Manor Multi-Service Center (FMMSC) on the east side of Indianapolis.

During their visit, the players helped facilitate a competitive game of BINGO. As the players took turns calling out the numbers, silence fell over the room. The seniors were anxiously waiting to hear the next number. Both Brazill and Jones mingled with each person while helping ensure the seniors' cards were marked accurately.

Many of the FMMSC seniors, avid fans of the team, are not afforded the opportunity to attend a Colts game, so the visit was a special treat. Although the seniors were already fired-up, Blue the Mascot also made a surprise appearance to warm their hearts.

The stakes were high as the seniors watched their numbers intensely for the chance to win a variety of Colts gear and prizes! As the occasional "BINGO" was shouted, protest cried throughout the room as many hoped for a false call. However, at the end of the event, there were no losers. As Brazill and Jones took photos and shared hugs with fans, every senior was acknowledged as a winner.

The visit was a part of the team's "Community Tuesday" program, which engages players in community outreach events and programs on their only day off from practice.**
