WESTBROOK -- New England Patriots Andre Tippett and John Hannah will appear at the "Mission Possible Teen Center" at noon today to promote community volunteerism. The event is free and open to the public; doors will open at 11:30 a.m.

The Mission Possible Teen Center was founded in 2006 by community members in response to rising youth drug and alcohol problems. In May, it received a $3,500 grant from the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation.

The center is located at 755 Main St.
