The former National Football League linebacker who has appeared in five Super Bowl finals, and has won two, now educates students on the consequences of drug and alcohol abuse through PotashCorp's Community Outreach program. Lewis played 13 seasons in the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys but following retirement, addiction to drugs and alcohol spiraled out of control. Lewis quickly lost everything and everyone important to him. He tackled the greatest challenge of his life, overcame his addictions and put his life back together. Now as Manager, Customer Relations, for PotashCorp, the world’s largest fertilizer enterprise, he motivates students to make the right decisions in their lives and take responsibility for their actions. As a PotashCorp customer, you're encouraged to take advantage of Lewis' experiences, and the hard lessons he's learned, by bringing him to your community. Lewis has addressed audiences ranging from high schools to teens in rehabilitation programs. There is no fee for Lewis' services, and the message he gets across to students is priceless.

On March 20, PotashCorp announced an endowment of $200,000 to the Chicago Botanic Garden for a new research fellowship focusing on soil science. The donation will be paid over three years and will fund graduate student studies in a Soil Science Research Fellowship position in Scientific Affairs for a joint Botanic Garden/Northwestern University master’s degree program. "This generous contribution from our Northbrook-based neighbor, PotashCorp, will boost soil science expertise on natural areas restoration projects at the Chicago Botanic Garden," said Christopher P. Dunn, Ph.D., executive director for research programs and Smith family curator of native habitats at the Chicago Botanic Garden. "PotashCorp’s collaboration with the Garden enhances an already innovative program by funding a Postdoctoral Soil Science Fellow," Dunn said. "The Fellow’s responsibilities will include establishing an innovative research program in applied soil science, including ecological restoration and/or soil remediation, urban soils, soil microbiology or research at the urban-rural interface. "In addition, the Fellow will have an opportunity for an adjunct position at Northwestern University, and will be expected to teach a graduate-level course in the Garden’s joint master-of-science program in Plant Biology and Conservation at Northwestern," Dunn said. The Garden/University Integrated Program in Plant Biology and Conservation — the nation’s first such master of science degree — kicked off in the fall of 2005 with classes at Northwestern and at the Garden. In 2002, PotashCorp donated $150,000 to the Chicago Botanic Garden that was used over a three-year period to educate the general public about fertilizer’s role in land stewardship and global food production. When the Garden asked PotashCorp last year to again lend its support, the company was happy to oblige. "PotashCorp is very pleased to continue its support for one of Chicago’s leading ecological research and preservation institutions," said PotashCorp President and CEO Bill Doyle. "And as one of the world’s largest fertilizer companies, we are especially gratified to be able to help add a new dimension to this pioneering joint program that educates tomorrow’s leaders in soil science and plant conservation." "It is estimated that at least 40 percent of the world’s flora will become extinct by the end of this century. These Postdoctoral Soil Science Fellows will become part of the solution by learning to use the latest concepts and methods to protect these threatened species," Doyle added.
