Please join us for our 9th Annual Celebration Gala

Our 9th Annual Celebration Gala will be held on Thursday, September 16th at SiMT in Florence, South Carolina.  This year's distinguished graduate will be Reggie Sanders, a native of Florence and a proud graduate of Wilson High School.  He retired from Major League Baseball after a successful 17 year career including a World Series Championship in 2001.   He also has the distinction of being 1 of only 6 players in the history of Major League Baseball to hit 300 or more home runs in his career, while also stealing 300 or more bases.  

Being a man of strong faith, Reggie is an even more committed player off the field.  Early in his career, he formed the Reggie Sanders Charitable Fund, a fund that has touched the lives of countless children and families.  He and his wife, Wyndee, remain committed to reaching out and helping those less fortunate.

The evening's keynote speaker will be Donald M. Fehr, retired Executive Director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, the collective bargaining unit for all active Major League players.   Donald served in this position from 1985 until 2009.  He currently serves as a consultant to the National Hockey League Players Association, working closely with two player committees created to modify the NHLPA's constitution and find an Executive Director.  The Hockey News ranked Fehr 25th on their most recent list of 100 People of Power and Influence in the sport of hockey.
