Bethel University will host its fourth annual Give Back Gala in June, with a familiar name set to be the keynote speaker.

Tim Brown, a former football player for the University of Notre Dame, was the first wide receiver to ever receive the Heisman Trophy award. Brown is now a pro football hall of famer, a nine-time Pro Bowler and part of the NFL 1990s All-Decade Team.

Brown plans to speak on faith, encouragement and reflect on his career and life lessons.

The Give Back Gala raises money each year for the Bethel Fund, which supports student scholarships and areas of greatest need. Last year, the Gala raised more than $145,000.

The event will be held in-person and as a virtual event and simulcast on June 12 at 5:30 p.m. at the Wiekamp Athletic Center.
