Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia partners with former NFL star Ron Jaworski

Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia announced on Thursday the launch of a new partnership deal with Pro Bowl quarterback, NFL Player of the Year, and Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Famer Ron "Jaws" Jaworski. The new agreement with the Philadelphia fan favorite includes a series of special event appearances at the property, plus opportunities to serve as a spokesperson for the gaming and entertainment prope.

Jaworski will also partner with Live! on its philanthropic activities and community outreach. One of the first partnership opportunities for Jaworski and Live! will be a TV and radio commercial taping for PlayLive.com.

Jaworski said: "Since Live! opened earlier this year, I've continued to be impressed not only by the beautiful facility they've created but by their passion and commitment to the City of Philadelphia. They take a family and community approach to everything they do, which matches my own values and commitments in business, so I'm thrilled to be part of the Live! team."

Joe Billhimer, Executive Vice President, Cordish Gaming Group, commented: "Ron Jaworski is a Philadelphia legend, and we are honored to officially welcome him as part of the Live! family. Jaws has been an active supporter of Live! Philadelphia since the very beginning, so we are excited to further our relationship with him through this partnership."

After a 17-year distinguished career as an NFL quarterback, Jaworski has been coaching football fans on TV and radio with a multiplatform NFL analyst role that included appearances on Sunday NFL Countdown, Monday Night Countdown, NFL Matchup, NFL-branded specials, Mike & Mike in the Morning, Pardon the Interruption, ESPN, Monday Night Football, NFL Network's Film Sessions, and currently on Westwood One's NFL Radio broadcast coverage.

Jaworski remains committed to civic activity and philanthropy and has received numerous recognitions for his community service, including Jaws Youth Playbook, which aims to improve the overall health and wellness of at-risk youth, primarily in the Greater Philadelphia Region. To date, the Jaworski family has donated over $6 million to at-risk youth.

He also owns an exclusive business development company called Business Clubs America as well as owning seven signature golf courses in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, RiverWinds Golf & Tennis Club, Valleybrook Country Club, Ramblewood Country Club, Blue Heron Pines Golf Club, Running Deer Golf Club, Downingtown Country Club (PA), and Honey Run Golf Club (York, PA).
