Mike Ditka Proposes Gridiron Prancercise for Gridiron Greats
WISCONSINREPORT.COM [WiscReport.com] (12/30/2014) VideoJuice.com, the first-of-its-kind social fundraising platform, has announced that Mike Ditka, former NFL player, coach and television commentator will Prancercise during Super Bowl week if he raises $100,000 for Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund, Inc. (GGAF).
The three-time Super Bowl champion will be joined by Joanna Rohrback, the founder of Prancercise who has become a YouTube legend with more than 10 million views for the exercise defined as a “springy, rhythmic way of moving forward, similar to a horse’s gait and ideally induced by elation.”
To benefit the charity, Ditka also promises that if GGAF raises more than $100,000, he will enlist his beloved NFL friends to Prancercise with him and Joanna during Super Bowl week in Arizona.

“Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund is near and dear to my heart,” Ditka said. “I wanted to do something different and exciting to help our NFL heroes get back on their feet. What better way to engage people and encourage them to donate than by proposing a challenge in which I will Prancercise during Super Bowl week.”
