Monday's news of football star Alex Karras's suit against the NFL was just another reminder of the need for greater athlete protection.

So, students, athletes and parents, consider coming out for Tuesday night's "Protecting Student Athletes: Concussions, ACL Tears, Overuse Injuries and More."

The free panel starts at 7 p.m. in the Misner Auditorium at Central School, 620 Greenwood Ave. in Glencoe. 

Sponsors include Family Awareness Network (FAN), Glencoe District 35 and NorthShore University HealthSystem.
