Why is Tom Brady Coming To Grand Rapids?
Tom Brady is no stranger to Michigan. Starting his career by playing in college at the University of Michigan, Tom Brady's oldest fans are arguably Michiganders.
But it's not often that the New England Patriot / Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarter back makes it back to his old Michigan stomping grounds. However, he's planning a special trip back to West Michigan for later this year.
Why is Tom Brady coming to Grand Rapids?
The Economic Club of Grand Rapids is having Tom Brady as their keynote speaker at their upcoming 34th annual dinner.
