Major Exposure for FAME and FAMErs

Check out the New York Times on Thursday April 2 to see the feature on FAME and some of our more senior athletes! The Times and its writer, Abby Ellin, found it very fascinating that people are actually hitting the stage while in their retirement years; some who have never competed before! 

This paper is the most read paper in the world and we’re thrilled to be a part of it to share our vision and the accomplishments of our athletes. 

Media Promotion for FAMErs... CBS Feature Story!

So last newsletter we shared with you that the New York Times had contacted us for information about the FAME World Tour. The focus of their story was on Senior athletes and appeared as a full page article in the Fitness Section of the paper! Great exposure!

One athlete who was interviewed, is FAME’s very own Vice President of Senior Athletics, Scott "Old Navy" Hults. His story inspired countless people and also caught the attention of CBS News. 

Here’s what Scott had to say: “I got a call from CBS News in New York and was invited to NYC to do a follow up story for CBS News Sunday Morning, a network program that airs early each Sunday to an audience of about eight million viewers.

CBS News made all of the arrangements and I was met at the airport by a car and driver who dropped me off at a hotel in the City for the night. Early that morning I had breakfast with the producer to go over what he wanted to do with me. We then were met by a film crew from 60-Minutes who were going to do the shoot at Club “H” Fitness. I donned my “Proud FAME Athlete” sleeveless T and went to the gym floor to began working out in front of the cameras. Then, I did a sit down interview with Dr. Emily Senay, M.D., a CBS News health and medical correspondent who asked me several questions about our sport and about my participation in FAME. The FAME name is prominent throughout the interview.

My segment will appear this Sunday (April 13) in CBS News Sunday Morning as the lead story.”

Tune in & set your TV to record your fellow FAMEr! Congratulations, Scott!!
