Tim Tebow Foundation Partners with CURE International
As many of you know, I am an enthusiastic supporter of Tim Tebow and his mission to use his influence to help others. I received the following press release from the Executive Director of the Tim Tebow Foundation and I wanted to share it with all of my readers. Stay tuned for more details.
Tim Tebow Foundation partners with CURE International
to bring physical and spiritual healing to the world’s poorest children
to bring physical and spiritual healing to the world’s poorest children
Jacksonville, FL (October 25, 2011) – The Tim Tebow Foundation today announced its partnership with CURE International. The Tim Tebow Foundation’s mission is to bring faith, hope, and love to those needing a brighter day, and this partnership will directly benefit children throughout the developing world who suffer from treatable physical disabilities. CURE, which exists to provide both physical and spiritual healing, operates programs and hospitals in 20 countries and has performed more than 121,000 surgeries in its 14-year history.
“I am truly excited about this partnership with CURE International,” said Tebow. “When I learned about what CURE does and how intentional the organization is about sharing the Gospel and healing children, I knew it would be a great partnership.”
The on-going partnership between the Tim Tebow Foundation and CURE will focus on several projects, the first of which will be a children’s hospital construction project in the developing world. Details on the location and specifics of the project will be announced in the coming weeks.
“Tim’s passion for sharing his faith and making a difference in the lives of people around the world is a natural fit with CURE,” said Dr. Scott Harrison, President and Founder of CURE International. “It is a blessing for us to partner with someone of Tim’s caliber and integrity. Through this partnership, many children will receive the healing they so desperately need.”
TIM TEBOW FOUNDATION
The Tim Tebow Foundation was created in January 2010 by NFL quarterback Tim Tebow. The mission of the Tim Tebow Foundation is to bring faith, hope, and love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need. The Foundation is accomplishing this mission through the building of playrooms in children’s hospitals, supporting orphans worldwide, and making “Dreams Come True” for children with life threatening illnesses.
CURE INTERNATIONAL
Since opening the doors of its first surgical teaching hospital in Kijabe, Kenya, in 1998, CURE's focus on bringing healing to developing nations has resulted in more than 1.5 million patient visits and over 121,000 surgeries to correct physically disabling conditions.

OLD SCHOOL GATOR WITNESSES MORE TEBOW MAGIC
Despite a slow start, Tim Tebow led the Denver Broncos to an amazing 18-15 overtime victory, and, of course, the Old School Gator, who was there to witness it in person, is the least surprised person on planet earth. In typical Tim Tebow fashion, the game was filled with unique drama, excitement and passion. That is why the Old School Gator AND TENS OF MILLIONS OF INSIGHTFUL FOOTBALL FANS AROUND AMERICA feel so strongly about Tim Tebow. Tebow plays with heart, passion and guts, truly has the heart of a champion, and that is why with Tim Tebow at QB no game is over until the last second literally ticks off the clock.
According to Chris Berman of ESPN, yesterday's Denver comeback was the only comeback from as many as 15 points to win in the last five minutes since the merger of the NFL and AFL circa 1970.
As the Old School Gator has said many times, Tim Tebow is something special. Yesterday's game is not the last we'll see of Tim Tebow. The Old School Gator predicted he'd be a first round draft pick in April 2010 and the Old School Gator predicted he'd show the world his amazing talents in Sunday's game. One more tip from the Old School Gator; as I've said many times before, "Tim Tebow is destined for greatness as an NFL starting QB, Tim Tebow will be the next great QB in the NFL and one day Tim Tebow will be inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame." And, with God's Grace, the Old School Gator will be there in Canton to see it!
