The Atlanta Falcons would like to welcome the following acts and programs to the Georgia Dome for the game against the 49ers Nov. 4.
Pregame
FalCan Food Drive
In an annual tradition of giving, the Atlanta Falcons have again partnered with the Atlanta Community Food Bank for the FalCan Food Drive, Sunday, Nov. 4 prior to the team's game against the San Francisco 49ers.
All proceeds from this food drive benefit the Atlanta Community Food Bank and its more than 800 partner agencies.
Falcons fans will have opportunities to donate non-perishable canned food items as well as money at all gates at the Georgia Dome.
With every dollar donated, the Atlanta Community Food Bank provides $8.25 worth of groceries to those seeking food assistance. The donations collected during the FalCan Food Drive will help the ACFB and its partner agencies serve more than 42,000 people each week.
During the 2006 FalCan Food Drive, fan donations equaled more than $60,000 in groceries that directly benefited households in need.

NFL Punt, Pass & Kick
The NFL Punt, Pass & Kick program creates a lively and engaging forum for boys and girls ages 8-15 to compete separately against their peers in punting, passing and place-kicking skills. The top scorer in all age and gender divisions from each local competition will advance to the team championship. The top four scorers from all the first-place finalists in each age division in both the boys’ and girls’ age groups (from each of the NFL teams) will advance to the national finals. These 32 winners plus two parents or guardians will travel to the finals at an NFL playoff game in January.
National Anthem
Haley Hunt
A unique artist who has a passion for life and for people, Haley Hunt is a studied songwriter and piano player. She embraces the need to express herself and to soothe the burning in her soul to affect the music of today and the souls that will rule tomorrow.
Possessing a sound embodied with smooth jazz, funk and R&B, she is richly inspired by other artists such as India Arie, Lauren Hill and Marc Broussard.
Haley was born in Alexander City, Ala. to parents from Florida and a father who played football for the great Bear Bryant at the University of Alabama. She soon moved to Orlando, Fla. where she began at an early age to have a fun love for sports, music and different cultures.
Haley’s love and passion for music led her to begin voice lessons when she was in first grade. She was known by her teachers as the only child in their class who would get out in front of everyone at the Christmas pageant and belt it out with all her heart. Since her early musical beginnings, Haley has had many opportunities to sing in incredible venues such as the White House and Carnegie Hall in New York. In 2000, she began to travel with the Shaun Alexander Family Foundation where she sang at events where the Seattle Seahawks running back would speak.
Haley has also had the honor of singing the National Anthem at NBA, NFL, AFL, NCAA baseball and high school events. Haley’s recent projects include collaborating with many other artists on different projects, giving voice lessons and writing and arranging for studios all over the Southeast.
“This is the beginning of my opportunity to bless this world in an influential way," she says. "I want people who hear my music to become physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually inspired. I want to touch souls from the old to the young, from the black to the white and from rich to poor. I will move my generation. They will be inspired to follow me. I pray, as I grow as an artist, God will use me in the most exciting and most effective ways possible."
Color Guard
Atlanta Police Department
The Atlanta Police Department Honor Guard was established in 1971. This group has performed and participated in many Police and Civic functions, funerals, parades, ground breaking ceremonies and various Honor Guard Competitions. The Atlanta Police Honor Guard has approximately 15 active members.
Halftime
Miller Lite Super Party
Four semi-finalists will compete in a halftime obstacle course competition for a chance to win an awesome grand prize. The semi-finalist with the fastest time will be deemed the grand prize winner, winning a four-day/three-night trip for two to Las Vegas to attend the 2008 Miller Lite Super Party. Cheer on our four contestants as they strenuously roll kegs through cones, run through ladders, complete a pass to their partner and make it back to the finish line all in an attempt at being this year’s Miller Lite Super Party Champion!
