Warren wins Burton Community Service Award

Hey all --

We're just leaving the Patriots annual Kickoff Gala, where Stanley Morgan was inducted into the Patriots' Hall of Fame and Ty Warren won the fifth annual Ron Burton Community Service Award.

Morgan, who won an online fan vote over Burton and Ben Coates, said he was very excited for the honor -- though he felt it was a little overdue -- but thanked all of the fans who voted for him.

New England's career leader in receiving yards, Morgan believes the 2007 Patriots are the team to beat this year, and said that had last year's team had the wideouts that this team does, the team would have won the Super Bowl last year.

Warren and his wife, Kesha, founded the First and Goal Foundation last year, dedicated to helping children from Boys & Girls Clubs, an organization near to the couple's hearts. Last year, a group of children from the Yawkey Boys & Girls Club in Roxbury, Mass. were brought to the Bob's Store in Framingham, Mass. and given $300 to spend however they wanted -- after they bought themselves suitable cold-weather gear. Warren also attends many of the Patriots' charity events.
