Stephen Tulloch's Athletes Adopting Familes Event presented by The Detroit Lions
On Friday, December 6, 2013, Stephen Tulloch and friends will team up with Angels of Hope to bring the Southeast Michigan business community together for a special evening, the 5th Annual Athletes Adopting Families for the Holidays event at Tre Monti Ristoranti in Troy, MI (1695 East Big Beaver Road) from 7-11pm. Tickets are $150 each and include premium open bar, dinner and desserts.
“I’m very excited to host the 5th Annual Athletes Adopting Families event and partner with Angels of Hope for the second year in a row,” said Tulloch. “We’ll be raising money to help people in Detroit through my foundation during the holiday season, as well as Angels of Hope and its efforts to help people who have been affected by cancer. I’m very grateful to many local companies and people such as Jeff Ivory, the Detroit Lions, Tre Monti and others who have really stepped up and supported my foundation for this event. It will be a great evening for an even better cause.”
Stephen Tulloch launched his own program, Operation 55, upon signing with Detroit and has helped hundreds of children and families across the Metro Detroit area by adopting them for the holidays, providing kids dental care, promoting educational projects at the Jalen Rose Leadership Academy and now partnering with Angels of Hope to help provide a Christmas for families that have been affected by cancer as well as other families in need across Metro Detroit..
