Fans can attend Ed Block luncheon honoring Harris
By Larry Mayer
Tommie Harris will be honored April 8 at Maryville Academy in Des Plaines.
LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Bears fans can purchase tickets to attend a luncheon at Maryville Academy in Des Plaines on April 8 honoring defensive tackle Tommie Harris as the team’s recipient of the Ed Block Courage Award.
The prestigious award is presented to one player on all 32 NFL teams who best exemplifies a commitment to sportsmanship and courage and serves as an inspiration in the locker room.
The recipients of the award, who are voted on by their teammates, symbolize professionalism, great strength and dedication, and they are considered community role models.
Recovering from a hamstring injury that forced him to miss the last four games of the 2006 regular season and the playoffs, Harris rebounded to record a career-high eight sacks and become the first defensive tackle in Bears history to be voted to three straight Pro Bowls.
Ed Block was a long-time head trainer with the Baltimore Colts who was a pioneer in his field. The Ed Block Courage Award Foundation promotes the prevention of child abuse by raising awareness of the epidemic and assisting agencies that provide for the care and treatment of abused children in communities throughout the NFL.
Tickets to the luncheon cost $50. For more information, call (847) 294-1982
