Stephen Tulloch launches Operation 55 with NFL Kickoff Event

Sept. 4, 2012 - PRLog -- September 4, 2012, Detroit, MI: On Friday, September 28, Stephen Tulloch will host his NFL Kick Off Event at Bianchi’s Salon (16650 18 Mile Road, Clinton Twp).  The event will raise funds for the Stephen Tulloch Foundation’s Operation 55 program that he runs throughout the NFL Season.  The event will have complimentary food and beverages, a silent auction and live auction including autographed footballs from Stephen and his teammates, doors open at 6:30pm.

Operation 55 was launched in 2011 upon Stephen signing with Detroit.  The purpose of the program is to help as many people as possible and give children throughout the Metro Detroit area opportunities to come to Detroit Lions home games to experience a game day with Tulloch!  Last year Stephen took over 500 kids from various organizations throughout Detroit, including The Jalen Rose Leadership Academy, Big Family and more to home Detroit Lions Games.  Tulloch also partnered with the Covenant House of Michigan providing 55 kids with free dental services, adopted families in Detroit for the holidays providing them with food, clothing and toys.

“I’m looking forward to this season and being able to help others with my foundation.  My entire life my mother has helped others so this is a great opportunity for me to give back to the city of Detroit.  Bianchi’s was nice enough to host this event for me and help us raise the funds for my foundation so I hope to see a lot of the fans out at the event on the 28th.”

Tickets are available at all Bianchi’s Salon Locations (Royal Oak, Troy and Clinton Twp) for $20 and are also available online at www.TullochKickOff.eventbrite.com.
