NASHVILLE – Football, country music, and fundraising.
The inaugural Titans Foundation Dinner had it all on Wednesday night, and it raised a whole lot of money – $255,000, to be exact.
"It's an awesome event," said Adolpho Birch III, Senior Vice President/Business Affairs and Chief Legal Officer for the Titans. "We are very proud to have as many people come out and help us celebrate the Titans, celebrate the Titans Foundation in particular, to honor and look at the upcoming season, our new draft class, and really talk Titans football. It's an amazing event … and it really shines a light on what the Foundation can be about."
Roughly 450 fans attended the sold-out event at Nissan Stadium, which featured General Manager Jon Robinson, Head Coach Mike Vrabel, President/CEO Burke Nihill, receiver Robert Woods, and country music star Jake Owen, among others.
The Titans Foundation Dinner was hosted by "Voice of the Titans" Mike Keith, and it also included Charles Davis of NFL Network, and members of the team's rookie class.
Former Titans stars Keith Bulluck and Jevon Kearse were also there on a night when several auction items raised big money in bidding.
"(It's) great to raise money that we can give back to the community to help a lot of different areas," Robinson said. "(I'm) excited to be here with a whole lot of our fans … and meeting and greeting and seeing the people that fill the stands on Sundays."
The Titans Foundation Dinner was hosted by Mike Keith, "Voice of the Titans," along with the Titans Radio Team. Guests met with GM Jon Robinson, Head Coach Mike Vrabel, the entire 2022 Draft class, as well as other current Titans players and alumni to raise money for the Titans Foundation.
