Will Smith Choreographs Touchdown Dance for Vikings Wide Receiver Bernard Berrian



Vikings wide receiver Bernard Berrian can thank Will Smith for the touchdown dance he hopes to debut to fans during Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Smith was in the Twin Cities on Friday for a premiere of his new movie Seven Pounds; the event served as a fundraiser for Second Harvest Heartland, the Upper Midwest's largest hunger-relief organization. Smith, who donated 300 turkeys to Second Harvest Heartland during the event, was joined on the red carpet by Berrian, who recently donated $10,000 to Second Harvest Heartland and was responsible for more than $20,000 in community contributions.

Smith choreographed the dance at the movie premiere at the request of Berrian, who wanted to tap Smith's success as a rapper to achieve a touchdown dance like no other. Should the opportunity present itself, Berrian will perform the dance during the remaining regular season Vikings games to thank Smith for his efforts on behalf of Second Harvest Heartland and to recognize the more than 250,000 children in Minnesota who live in families struggling to put food on their tables each week.

The premiere event generated 2,000 pounds of food and $4,000 in cash donations to Second Harvest Heartland.
