Brooks and Dunn team up for charity

AUGUST 05, 2008

Bucs veterans Derrick Brooks and Warrick Dunn have a long history together, dating back to their days at Florida State. As pros, they've become two of the league's top philantropists. Both have their own foundations and are past recipients of the Walter Payton Man of the Year humanitarian award.

Reunited again with Dunn's return to the Bucs, the two are pairing up to form the "Brooks and Dunn Golf Classic," a event to benefit each of their charities.

The event will take place Jan. 29-30 at Cypress Run in Tarpon Springs, and will include a pairings reception and golf tournament. In the tournament, which will take place on the 30th at 12:30, each foursome will be paired with a celebrit from either the NFL, NBA or MLB.

The event will also include a live and silent auction, raffle prizes, a best ball tournament and awards dinner.

More information can be found on the charity websites: www.derrickbrookscharities.org and www.warrickdunnfoundation.org.
