Winding Up A Great Year in Football

The Gridiron Club honored its Man of the Year, New England Patriots great Troy Brown at its annual National Football League Legends Night on October 29, 2009 at the Burlington Marriott.

Some 300 GIC members and friends attended the dinner, chaired once again by our own Tom Yewcic,for whom the award is named. Troy's high school coach Mike Pope and his lovely wife Ginger flew up from North Carolina to be with us. Mike delivered an inspiring talk about Troy and his days at Blackville-Hilda High, South Carolina State Champs of 1988.

Other speakers included Kevin Faulk, Ted Johnson, and Max Lane. Our Master of Ceremonies was Gil Santos. Proceeds from the dinner and accompanying raffle were designated by Troy to the Inner-City Scholarship Fund, one of the many fine charities with which Troy has been involved over the years.

This past season the Gridiron Club was pleased to serve as sponsor of the Golden Helmet Award, which goes to the best performing college players each week. We were happy to be able to help the New England Football Writers keep this fine tradition going, and we look forward to working with them again!

The Bob Whelan College Awards Night is scheduled for January 14, 2010 at the Burlington Marriott. We announced the winners on December 8. Check out our News section and the Awards pages for full details.
