A Woman Bids $100,000 to Hang Out with Tim Tebow
Tim Tebow. All you have to do is say his name and you’ll get a love/hate opinion. Whether it’s religion, football, or hype, people can’t get enough of Tim Tebow. Well, according to the St. Augustine Record, a woman spent $100,000 to spend a day with the New York Jets’ quarterback.
Tim Tebow held his second annual celebrity golf tournament at TPC Sawgrass this Saturday. Pretty cool in its own right that Tim Tebow has his own golf tournament, but he also put himself up for auction, giving himself up for the day to the highest bidder. Obviously, it’s not a date auction of any sorts, but that didn’t stop some woman from spending $100,000 to hang out with Tim Tebow.
Tebow had this to say:
“It was incredible. It’s humbling. You don’t feel worthy, but when people care about your cause and know that you’re trying to do something for other people it’s amazing to see what can happen.”
The $100,000 bid will help all the charities Tebow is affiliated with, and I’m assuming that’s like 123 charities across the world. The woman who won the bid doesn’t want to be identified, but the spokesman for the Tim Tebow Foundation, Erik Dellenback, explained her reasoning:
“They live in a part of town that has a lot of people in need and a lot of people with a lot of wealth. She felt that bringing Timmy to her town down there would maybe change the town. She cleared it with Timmy and it sounds like she’s going to have a little event where she brings some of the kids who are in need and some of the kids who are deserving. We’d prefer not to say who they are, but they have a place in the Keys, which is where he’s going to go.”
When Tim Tebow was asked if he was looking forward to going to the bidder’s town to help out, Tebow said “it would be a lot of fun”
Tim Tebow, you truly make me feel insignificant.
