Former Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow won't have the Heisman Trophy he won in 2007 for the next year.
And there's a good reason why he won't.
Tebow recently auctioned off his Heisman Trophy to benefit congenital heart defect research for the Brett Boyer Foundation at an event that took place at country music superstar Luke Bryan's farm.
Two different auction winners will get to keep Tebow's 2007 Heisman Trophy for six months each.
The Brett Boyer foundation was started after Luke and Caroline Bryan's niece, Sadie Brett Boyer, passed away in 2017.
From TheBrettBoyerFoundation.org:
The Brett Boyer Foundation was created in loving memory and in honor of our beloved daughter Brett. Brett is our first child who was diagnosed prenatally with Down Syndrome and a congenital heart defect (CHD). Brett battled this heart disease (atrioventricular septal defect ) for her 7 inspiring and incredible months of life.
