Orphan Outreach Honors Blair Pogue

The generous amount that people in Dallas contribute and the wide range in which they do it never ceases to astound me. Here at the Hyatt Regency Dallas Reunion Ballroom next to Reunion Tower, Blair Pogue and his family were presented with the Children’s Hope Award by Orphan Outreach. The event was headlined by Tony Dungy. Blair Pogue has established over 200 personal relationships with orphans from Latvia to Russia on trips, Zoom calls and correspondence. He gives these orphans more than hope. Blair gives them confidence and optimism as they navigate their future. I am pictured here with Blair Pogue, Cristin Pogue and Tony Dungy.

Tony Dungy won a Superbowl as a player and as a head coach with two different professional teams. He has 12 children, 9 of which he and his wife adopted, along with fostering many other children. He passed on a tradition of Family Day on the Saturday practice before a Sunday game. This tradition of bringing children to practice spread across the NFL as players take their children to the practice before the game.

It was an honor to witness this celebration of Blair Pogue and Orphan Outreach.
