On Tuesday, April 3, 2007 Maryville hosted more than 300 guests in the Stein Center for the Ed Block Courage Award Luncheon. The event honored this year’s Courage Award winner, Rex Grossman, and paid special tribute to Ed McCaskey, a long-time friend of Maryville. Grossman, Lovie Smith, and several Bears players were on hand to meet and share lunch with those in attendance. Several scholarship recipients were also there to tell Maryville’s story and share the importance of the McCaskey scholarship fund.
