"I’m honored to be the first to bring you the exciting news! Come October 15, the The Heisman Trophy Committee will travel to Birmingham to present 1971 Heisman winner Pat Sullivan their first-ever Lifetime Achievement Award! Pat graduated from John Carroll Catholic HS fifty years ago. He then starred at Auburn where he won the Heisman. These days he enjoys his wife Jean, his children and his 7 grandchildren years after being diagnosed with throat cancer. I know that Auburn Football and Alabama Football fans love & respect Pat as he continues to fight every day without complaining. Please offer your congratulations to a great friend & a great man who is deserving of this huge honor! Share the good news."
