A statue of Keith Jackson coming outside the Rose Bowl? You betcha!

The world of sports lost a true legend earlier this year with the passing of Keith Jackson.

As a broadcast icon, Jackson's unique play-by-play style and unmistakable voice was a soundtrack to many memorable moments in college football, the Olympics and NFL over the past 50 years. To preserve his legacy for future generations, the Rose Bowl Legacy Foundation has setup a campaign to build a statue of Keith Jackson outside the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, Cali., where he called a majority of his games.

A total of $400,000 in donations is needed for this special project with great things being offered in return by the foundation. A $25 level benefit will recognize your contribution and the top donation of $25,000 or more will earn you a mini bronze replica of the statue.

If you're interested preserving sports history forever, you can do so at keithjacksonstatue.com. Whoa, Nellie!
