Yanks to Benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Tampa Bay

(Zell's Pinstripe Blog)

The New York Yankees are tying to help out the Boys and Girls Clubs of Tampa Bay. They will be holding a luncheon at the Tampa Convention Center on March 24th, where some of the biggest Yankees stars will show up and sign autographs for the fans.

The Yankees will put down their bats and pick up their pens again this spring, signing autographs to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Tampa Bay on March 24.

All of the Yankees’ biggest names—including Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, CC Sabathia and Mark Teixeira—are scheduled to attend a luncheon, to be held at the Tampa Convention Center.

Tickets are available for the event, which runs from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. ET. General admission tickets are priced at $300 per person.

Guests are invited to bring jerseys, baseballs, photos and other items for autographs, with players and coaches available to sign one item per person.

Official Major League baseballs and other items will also be available for sale that day.

After the autograph signing period, the Yankees’ players and coaches will be introduced at the head table and lunch will be served.

The event will conclude with a short program presented by the Yankees. Last year’s guests were treated to a video and a speech by club co-chairman Hal Steinbrenner.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Tampa Bay serve an average of 3,000 youths daily at their 22 clubs throughout Hillsborough and Pasco counties.
