Leigh Anne Tuohy is coming to Dothan, Alabama! The Dothan Education Foundation is pleased to announce the inspirational matriarch of the family to Alabama. The real-life mom from the hit movie, “The Blind Side” [featuring Sandra Bullock, Quinton Aaron and Tim McGraw] has been invited to voice her inspiring story on March 7th, 2013 at 7:00 p.m at the Dothan Civic Center, in Dothan, Alabama. Leigh Anne is energetically involved in many civic and faith-based organizations, including Grace Evangelical Church, of which she founded. She inspires spectators through her public speaking to analyze the full potential of people in their community and to find worth in those individuals who society has deemed insignificant. This woman views potential and value in every person and emphasizes how we can impact a person’s life with a little help. Leigh Anne will be sharing her personal journey she underwent with Michael Oher and how the experience changed her as a person.
“He had a much greater impact on our lives than we did on his,” says Touhy.
The family took in Mike when he was a teenager and pushed this man to his full potential. Michael Oher, an offensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens, won his first Super Bowl in the Big Easy against the San Francisco 49ers this year. Broadcasting the success of this young man has encouraged audiences to think “What can I do?” The Dothan Education Foundation has promoted the Blind Side Speaking Event through a multitude of advertising outlets from radio to TV and billboards to social media. DEF is associated with Yes We Can and Adopt-A-School located at 2431 West Main Street (Westwood Office Complex), Suite 301 in Dothan, AL. The missions of the three affiliated organizations remain alike but structurally, they are becoming more active in the community. The three establishments are merging to becoming one organization to combine the history with the achievements and grassroots support of YWCD and AASD. The goals of these establishments are to improve student achievement for Dothan City students, maintain school improvement, and engage citizens of Dothan with its public schools.
