Elmhurst, IL – ADPI Member, Hilmar Cheese Company Vice President of Operations and dad of a Super Bowl Quarterback – Rick Kaepernick, along with his wife Teresa will "kick-off" the 2013 ADPI/ABI Annual Conference on Sunday, April 28th at the Chicago Marriott Downtown in Chicago, IL.

Come join the Kaepernicks as they tell the story of their son's journey from a young athlete to a Super Bowl 49'ers quarterback. Sponsored by Hoogwegt U.S., Inc., these "Armchair Quarterbacks" will share the important experiences and beliefs that have propelled their son Colin Kaepernick to success and kept the Kaepernick family right alongside as his chief cheerleaders.

The Kaepernick family will also be featured during the inaugural Silent Auction that will be held during the Grand Chicago Reception, April 29th. Autographed memorabilia signed by Colin will be up for auction with all proceeds benefiting the ADPI Jim Page Memorial Scholarship Fund. Some of these items include: a red San Francisco Super Bowl Jersey, a white San Francisco Jersey, two San Francisco 2012 Conference Champion hats, an original "Kaepernicking" t-shirt and a signed football.

A Welcome Reception immediately following the Kaepernick's presentation on Sunday evening will be the perfect opportunity for you to meet and greet other conference attendees. Hosted by Darigold, Franklin Farms East, Inc., Land O'Lakes and Cheese Market News, this reception is a great way to get the 2013 ADPI/ABI Annual Conference off to a great start.
