TIM TEBOW
(Host of HOME FREE)
Tim Tebow is a two-time national champion, first round NFL draft pick and Heisman Trophy winner. Tebow is hosting the second season of HOME FREE with home renovation TV Star Mike Holmes (Holmes on Homes®), starting June 16, 2016. In addition, he is a college football analyst for the SEC Network, which launched in August 2014. He appears mainly on the SEC Network as co-host of SEC Nation, a traveling pre-game show. Tebow also contributes to a variety of platforms including SportsCenter, ESPN Radio, and Heisman Trophy coverage, offering in-depth perspective as a legendary SEC player himself. Prior to joining the SEC Network, Tebow played three years in the NFL for the Denver Broncos and the New York Jets. In 2011, Tebow was the first quarterback featured the “Year of the Quarterback.” He later published “Through My Eyes,” which was named the #1 sports book of 2011 and the best-selling religion book of 2011.
Tebow grew up the son of missionaries, and even after moving to Florida as a child, he returned to the Philippines as a teenager—to spread God’s word, and do the Lord’s work, by serving the needy. He carried that calling with him to the University of Florida, where in addition to leading the Gators to two national championships, and winning the Heisman Trophy in 2007, he also devoted himself to charity—raising money for pediatric cancer patients and disadvantaged children.
In 2010, his vision took shape in the Tim Tebow Foundation. The Tim Tebow Foundation exists to bring Faith, Hope and Love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need. The foundation fulfills this mission every day by making dreams come true for children with life-threatening illnesses, building Timmy’s Playrooms in children’s hospitals, providing life-changing surgeries to children of the Philippines through the Tebow CURE Hospital, sponsoring Night to Shine, a nationwide prom for people with special needs, providing care for orphans in four countries and adoption aid grants for families who choose to adopt an international child with special needs.
