Men’s Breakfast w/ Darryl Strawberry
Join us for a Men’s Breakfast with baseball legend Darryl Strawberry on Saturday, September 27th at 9:30am!
Darryl Strawberry is an evangelical born-again Christian and American former professional baseball right fielder who played 17 seasons in Major League Baseball. Throughout his career, Strawberry was one of the most feared sluggers in the sport, known for his prodigious home runs and his intimidating presence in the batter’s box. Now retired from baseball, Strawberry is devoted to his church and to his work with individuals affected by autism via the Darryl Strawberry Foundation. Since Opening Day 2008, Strawberry has served as special ambassador for the Mets.
Don’t miss this chance to hear his powerful message while enjoying great food and fellowship! He will be live at the Utica campus and Albany and Syracuse will be joining by livestream. Men highschool age and up are welcome to attend.
Register for this event opens soon. Save the date, invite a friend, and we’ll see you there!
