This weekend, Tim Brown will receive his overdue recognition by the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, OH, when he and his fellow Irish alum Jerome Bettis are inducted. With good old #81 in the spotlight, we at NDN felt it was time to let you know about an off-the-field endeavor of TB’s just as worthy of attention.
For the last 20 years, the 9-1-1 Celebrity Golf Tournament has been raising money for a number of charitable foundations, including Athletes & Entertainers for Kids and 9-1-1 for Kids. TB is the national chairman for both charities, and this tournament is their main fundraiser for the year.
The year’s event takes place on Monday, September 21st, at the Monarch Beach Golf Links in Dana Point, CA. Individual playing spots and foursomes are available. However, we non-left-coasters have a chance to participate in the event as well via donations to the charities involved. A donation of $100 will get you an autographed photo of TB. $200 will get you an autographed football, $300 an autographed helmet, and $500 an autographed jersey. Go for that last one fast if you want it — you know Cross will be buying them up.
This PDF has information about participating in the golf outing. Information on the charity is at this link, and donations can be made via this link. When you make your donation, be sure to reference the offer. Let’s help Tim celebrate his new Hall of Famer status with our support.

i remember watching the 1st gam in the indoor stadium in Indianapolis. this was before the colts came
to indy. it was the opening game between ND and Purdue with Faust coaching ND. the opening kickoff
went to true freshman tim brown and he fumble in the endzone Purdue recovers for a touchdown.
that’s when I knew ND had to fire Faust.
