The public is invited to enjoy breakfast, support scouting and hear keynote speaker Danny Kanell, a former FSU standout and NFL quarterback, at the Million Dollar Day for Scouting event Thursday, March 14.

The Million Dollar Day for Scouting is about celebrating the positive effects the Scouting Movement is having in local communities. More than 500 business and civic leaders are expected to attend this prestigious event where the positive impacts of scouting’s values-laden programs will be emphasized.

Kanell is a college football analyst and is currently the host of “Dusty and Danny in the Morning” on Sirius XM and he is a member of the Florida State University Hall of Fame.

After playing quarterback at Florida State for four years, he was drafted into the NFL by the New York Giants in 1996 and played for the Atlanta Falcons and the Denver Broncos until 2004.
