Featured images displaying in header

I have no problem displaying the featured image of a post in the header, though when I am using another plugin,"the events calendar", which creates events posts, similar to regular posts, the featured image is not displayed in the header. is this because the event calendar calles out the featured image as "tribe_event_featured_image" and not using the standard wordpress "featured_image" call tag?? and, how and where and what would I need to add to this theme to also accept "tribe_event_featured_image" as being displayed in the header? Thanks!
