TIGER TRAIL INDUCTION BREAKFAST MOVES TO A-DAY
March 9, 2010
The Tiger Trail Induction Breakfast, traditionally held during football season on a game-day Saturday, is moving to A-Day.
Inspired by the vision of the late Ken Brown, the Auburn Chamber of Commerce began the Tiger Trail in 1995 to honor outstanding athletes, coaches and administrators. Every year, a new class of honorees is inducted into the Tiger Trail during the Tiger Trail induction ceremony. Each inductee is presented with an engraved granite plaque to be placed in the sidewalk of downtown Auburn among the plaques of other Auburn greats.
“Tiger Trail celebrates the spirit of Auburn and our great athletes, coaches and administrators. By moving the event to A-Day, more fans and members of the Auburn family typically involved in game-day preparations will be free to attend,” said Ron Anders, chair of the Tiger Trail committee.

“We’re thrilled that so many Auburn fans and alumni return to Auburn to support A-Day. The Tiger Trail Induction Breakfast is one more way for those visitors to experience Auburn’s rich tradition while they’re here,” said Lolly Steiner, president of the Auburn Chamber. “Hearing the stories of Auburn’s athletic elite and the special years they spent at Auburn is truly moving. Everyone leaves uplifted and proud to be an Auburn Tiger.”
