Leigh Anne Tuohy, dubbed a “warrior princess” by author Michael Lewis in his best-selling book “The Blind Side,” is the inspirational matriarch of the Tuohy family.
The chronicle of the Tuohy family’s life, Michael Lewis’ New York Times number one best-seller, went on to become a record-breaking Hollywood blockbuster that earned more than $300 million at the box office. The film boldly depicts both the struggles and triumphs of building a blended family; Sandra Bullock won her first Academy Award for her portrayal of Leigh Anne in the film.
Tuohy will be the keynote speaker at the second annual PNC Bank and Vestavia Hills City Schools Foundation luncheon October 8.
The luncheon will be held at the Vestavia Hills Country Club and tickets were scheduled to go on sale June 15.
The foundation provides financial support to Vestavia Hills schools and has set a goal of raising to reach $5 million of endowed funds.
