Waco Tribune-Herald: Tomlinson back in Waco Tuesday for ‘Rise Up’ banquet
By BRICE CHERRY bcherry@wacotrib.com
Come the first weekend of August, LaDainian Tomlinson will slip on a snazzy, gold blazer, and will address the crowd in Canton, Ohio. It’s part of the Pro Football Hall of Fame tradition that all new inductees give a speech.
Not that he really needs it, but Tomlinson can brush up on his public speaking on Tuesday in Waco.
The Waco-bred football legend will be back in his hometown for Tuesday’s Rise UP! Waco banquet benefiting the Talitha Koum Institute. The banquet is slated for 6:30 p.m. at the pavilion at the Carleen Bright Arboretum in Woodway. Individual tickets are available for purchase by visiting www.RiseUpWaco.org.
