TAMPA, Fla. –Tim Tebow, who won the Heisman Trophy while playing quarterback for the Florida Gators, will be the special guest and keynote speaker at the inaugural CMN Night of Miracles Gala, benefiting Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
The event is to be held Nov. 13 at the Tampa Museum of Art, according to the League of Southeastern Credit Unions (LSCU) and Credit Unions for Kids.
“The Night of Miracles Gala promises to be an unforgettable evening, featuring a formal gala, a silent and live auction, and a night to honor our miracle child, Maya,” the organizations said. “In addition to hearing from Tebow, attendees will have the chance to bid on autographed memorabilia and unique experiences in the auction, have an incredible dining experience on the riverfront, listen to live music, all while enjoying an evening at one of Tampa's premier venues.”
