Spurrier, Tebow, and Wuerffel gather in Gainesville for charity event
Summary

Steve Spurrier, Tim Tebow, and Danny Wuerffel, all Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks from the University of Florida, came together on August 23, 2026, at the Alachua County Sports & Events Center for the inaugural Florida Legends Card Show. They signed autographs and interacted with fans, helping to raise funds for the Isiaiah 117 House, a nonprofit supporting children in foster care. The event aimed to raise $1 million, with a high-priced dinner hosted later at Spurrier’s Gridiron Grille. Spurrier highlighted the importance of providing a supportive home for at-risk youth, noting the organization's role in helping children avoid homelessness as they transition to adulthood.

Heisman-winning quarterbacks Steve Spurrier, Tim Tebow and Danny Wuerffel will forever have bronze statues at the Swamp, a spot in the Ring of Honor and a place in the hearts of Florida fans. Rarely, though, do the three living legends come together in Gainesville for all to see. The trio signed autographs and met with fans, far fewer in the case of Tebow, at the Alachua County Sports & Events Center to culminate the inaugural Florida Legends Card Show.
