Description

Fundraising dinner with Honored Guest and Speaker, football legend Eddie George, to benefit Rutherford County Area Habitat for Humanity. Join friends and supporters of Rutherford County Area Habitat for Humanity with a celebration dinner and dynamic speaker Eddie George. From the football field to the board room, Broadway musicals to graduate business school, Eddie George personifies what we think of when we hear the term Renaissance Man. His football accomplishments are legendary. A Heisman trophy winner and first round draft choice out of Ohio State, earning Rookie of the Year honors in 1996, it only got better. Starting running back for the Tennessee Titans until 2003, he was selected to four consecutive Pro Bowls, still owns virtually every Titans’ rushing record, and led his team to Super Bowl XXXIV before retiring after a final campaign in 2004 with the Dallas Cowboys. This past September the Tennessee Titans retired both Eddie's #27 jersey and Steve McNair's #9, as all time greats who brought success to the team and a great impact in the city of Nashville and beyond. George will talk about how perseverance and overcoming obstacles framed his career and how people can use the same determination to realize their life goals. He admires how Habitat for Humanity prepares and empowers families and individuals to become homeowners and all that they can be. The Master of Ceremonies is Former Channel 2 WKRN-ABC morning anchor and current ESPN and SEC college football reporter Dawn Davenport. She is also Nashville’s first full-time female sports radio personality on 104.5 The Zone. Davenport has appeared with Eddie George at numerous sports events and was herself a two-time SEC Academic All-American member on the volleyball team at Auburn University.
