Bert’s Big Adventure, an Atlanta-based charity organization, announced today that it is teaming up with the World Football Challenge to give 11 local Atlanta-area kids the opportunity to take the field with international soccer club AC Milan prior to the team’s match on Wednesday, July 22 at the Georgia Dome. 

 The Atlanta-based youngsters will walk hand-in-hand wearing complete AC Milan uniforms with world-class soccer stars like Ronaldinho, Andrea Pirlo and Filippo Inzaghi.  Following the pre-match festivities, the children will get to watch AC Milan take on Mexico powerhouse Club America at the Georgia Dome as part of the World Football Challenge, a six-city round robin international tournament. 

 “I will forever be grateful that the World Football Challenge and AC Milan are giving these 11 BBA kids this once in a lifetime opportunity” said Bert Weiss, founder of Bert’s Big Adventure and host of the popular Q100 Atlanta morning radio program, The Bert Show.  “Our organization’s mission is to give these special children everlasting memories.  Taking the field with one of the world’s best soccer teams in a packed Georgia Dome will be an exclusive experience for these kids to cherish forever.”
