For Jim Clack’s friends and family, Super Bowl Sunday was the perfect day to kick off a mentoring program for cancer patients that was the vision of the late NFL star.

Clack’s dream became a reality Sunday, as hundreds of people showed up to a party at the Gateway Convention Center to launch a new foundation in his name.
