Tiki Barber, Koby and me
Last Tuesday evening as The Koby Mandell Humanitarian Award dinner was reaching its finale Master of Ceremonies Ben Brafman called out. "And now I would like to introduce Seth Mandell and Tiki Barber!" Applause.
I walked to the podium and looked out over the crowd. Close to 400 friends and supporters of Camp Koby and our other healing programs for those who have lost immediate family members to terror in Israel were sitting in the audience.
Frankly, all I could think about was how it came to pass that I was standing up there with one of the premiere sports figures of the generation. "Wow", I said to the assembly, "Tiki Barber and Seth Mandell, Seth Mandell and Tiki Barber in the same breath. There's no way this would have happened without Koby."
Tiki Barber to whom I was about to present the Koby Mandell Humanitarian Award is the most successful running back in the history of the New York Giants football team. After retiring from football last year he is currently a regular on the Today Show, the most popular morning TV show on television.
