On Sunday, November 30, the Buccaneers will join the NFL in celebrating PLAY 60 and promoting the importance of physical fitness and nutrition throughout the day at Raymond James Stadium. In-stadium promotion will include field stencils, banners, goal post wraps, and video board graphics to engage young fans with the important message of getting at least 60 minutes of exercise every day. This year's theme – "Come Out To Play" – launched on Thanksgiving through a :30 NFL public service announcement highlighting the hometowns of current and former NFL players and the different ways they were active as kids. These stories have also been featured on NFLRUSH.com/play60, including submissions from the Buccaneers and other clubs on how players "came out to play" and continue to stay active now.

7:30 A.M. – NFL PUNT, PASS & KICK TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS
Young football fans from throughout the area will help kick off Sunday's festivities – quite literally – by competing in the NFL Punt, Pass & Kick Team Championships at Raymond James Stadium. Competition in five age divisions for both boys and girls will begin at 7:30 a.m. with the top scorer in each group crowned team champion. Each team champion will have the chance to advance to the National Championships, which will be held during an NFL playoff game. All participants launch one punt, one pass and one kick with scores based on distance and accuracy (in feet). The top four scorers in each age group from around the country will qualify as national finalists. All competitors will be recognized during the game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

NFL Punt, Pass & Kick, which began in 1961, is the nation's largest grassroots sports skills competition. NFL stars, including Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterbacks Troy Aikman and Dan Marino, competed in the NFL Punt, Pass & Kick program as youngsters.

Following introductions, the Buccaneers will welcome nine-year-old Elios Matias as the team's honorary captain. Matias has demonstrated incredible bravery and strength in his fight against childhood diabetes by staying active and remaining committed to living a "PLAY 60" lifestyle. He will assist with the coin toss at midfield alongside members of his family, Florida Hospital Dr. James Orlowski, and Buccaneers team captains Lavonte David, Vincent Jackson, Michael Koenen, Josh McCown and Gerald McCoy.

HERO OF THE GAME: U.S. AIR FORCE CHIEF MASTER SERGEANT LEONARD BLACK
Before kickoff, the Buccaneers will continue a gameday tradition by honoring the team's military "Hero of the Game." At every Buccaneers home game, a military service member is stationed on the Pirate Ship in Buccaneer Cove to ring the bell and ready the team for battle. On Sunday, the Buccaneers will honor U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sergeant Leonard Black, who valiantly served our country in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Chief Master Sergeant Black is the co-founder of Honor Flight West Central Florida, an organization dedicated to ensuring that World War II Veterans have the opportunity to experience their memorial in Washington, D.C. For his bravery and commitment to service, Chief Master Sergeant Black received two Air Force Commendation Medals and two Presidential Unit Citations, among many other accolades.
