Tickets available to Bear Bryant Coaching Awards in support of Beamer

For Hokie fans in the Houston area, or really big Hokie fans who want to take a trip to Houston, tickets are available to the 22nd Annual Paul “Bear†Bryant College Football Coaching Awards, which is run by the American Heart Association and is one of its major annual fundraisers.

As was announced earlier on hokiesports.com, Tech head coach Frank Beamer is a finalist for the award, an honor that he won back in 1999. Other finalists include Sylvester Croom of Mississippi State, June Jones of Hawaii, Mark Mangino of Kansas, Les Miles of LSU, Gary Pinkel of Missouri and Ron Zook of Illinois.

The AHA is trying to get the word out to Hokie supporters who may want to purchase tickets or a table in support of Beamer’s nomination. All finalists get a chance to address the audience, and it would be great to see some of the Hokie Nation in attendance.

Click here to go to the AHA’s website for more information on the event and to buy tickets or make a donation to the fight against heart disease and stroke.

Also available below are PDF files of the electronic invite, with response information on general tickets and tables, and information on how to host Coach Beamer at a fan’s table. All tickets include a steak & sea bass seated dinner and an open bar.
