Next banquet to be held March
5, 2012
The annual honors banquet for the Middle
Tennessee Chapter of the National Football
Foundation and College Hall of Fame will be
held on Monday, March 5, 2012, at
7:00 p.m. at the Nashville Airport Marriott.
The banquet gives the Hall of Fame
Foundation, along with all of Middle
Tennessee, an opportunity to honor 56 high
school and 7 college scholar/athletes who
have distinguished themselves not only as
football players but also in their academic
and leadership achievements. We will be
awarding scholarships to all our high school
scholar/athletes and recognizing outstanding
community leaders and great Americans by
awarding the Fred Russell Distinguished
American Award and the Roy Kramer
Contribution to Football Award.
Join us on March 5th and help us honor these outstanding young men
and community leaders for all their accomplishments. The cost of a table
is $500 and it will seat ten guests (four for your use and five for the
scholar/athlete, his parents, principal and coaches). Your contribution is, of
course, tax deductible. Your participation as a table sponsor makes it possible
for us to continue the tradition of honoring our athletes.
Support one of our scholar/athletes! Purchase a table, by mailing your contribution to Scott Brunette, 2601 Bransford Avenue, Nashville, Tennessee 37204. Checks should be made out to the
National Football Foundation/College Hall of Fame.
