Tim Tebow Named As Keynote Speaker For FCA Cherokee Fundraiser
Tim Tebow, College Hall of Famer and Heisman Trophy winner, has been named as the keynote speaker for the FCA Cherokee annual fundraiser.
WOODSTOCK, GA — Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) Cherokee is hosting “An Evening with Tim Tebow” at 7 p.m. on Friday, July 9. The event will be held at the First Baptist Church Woodstock, 11905 Highway 92. Individual tickets are available for $10 and proceeds fund the non-profit’s year-long activities.
“Our goal is to encourage every athlete and coach to enter into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and his church and nobody embodies that message as well as Tim Tebow,” FCA Cherokee Area Director Steve Hyland said. “This event is a way to welcome the entire Atlanta community to listen to Tim share his testimony, while also helping underwrite the cost of the numerous activities FCA Cherokee hosts in support of all that we serve.”
Everyone in the metro Atlanta area is invited to attend the talk from the two-time NCAA national champion, Heisman trophy winner and first-round NFL draft pick.

Former University of Georgia All American Linebacker Rennie Curran, who competed against Tebow in college, will also be part of the evening’s event. In addition, Kayla Lewis Norman, who played basketball at the University of Florida and was named Georgia’s Gatorade Women High School Player of the Year in 2010, will also speak.
“Football can be a great way to communicate with young people, and we’re going to have some fun with college rivalries, college football predictions and maybe even some NFL,” Hyland said. “At the same time, we seek to accommodate as many people as possible by limiting the ticket price to only 10 dollars.”
