Florida football great Tim Tebow returning to Gainesville for charity event

The bronze statues of Florida football Heisman winners Tim Tebow, Danny Wuerffel and Steve Spurrier adorn the front of The Swamp. On Sunday, August 23, Florida Gators fans can see all three together in the flesh at a charity event in Gainesville. Tebow, Wuerrfel and Spurrier will be at the Alachua County Sports & Events Center and Spurrier’s Gridiron Grille in Celebration Pointe for an interactive public appearance. During the event, fans can catch a touchdown pass from Tebow or Wuerffel and take a handoff from Spurrier. Each experience includes an autographed football, a personal photo, and a professionally shot video keepsake. The event is being held in conjunction with the inaugural Florida Legends Card Show, a weekend event for collectors, traders, and enthusiasts for sports and trading card games, like Pokemon. It will take place from August 22–23 at theAlachua County Sports & Events Center. Other former Florida greats plan to turn out for the card signing event, including former Florida basketball and NBA center Marreese Speights and former Florida baseball and Major League baseball catcher Mike Zunino, who won the Golden Spikes Award in 2012. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Isaiah 117 House, which benifits Alachua County foster children awaiting placement. More information on the event can be found at fllegends.com.
