I have to admit, when I first heard about an event called “Thanksgiving Breakfast,” I was intrigued. Usually my Thanksgiving breakfast involves taste-testing whatever I happen to be making for dinner and saving room for plenty of turkey later.
But in the case of The First Tee of Cleveland, their Thanksgiving Breakfast on Tuesday, November 8 is a chance to thank community supporters and celebrate the achievements of program participants with speakers, networking, and breakfast at First Energy Stadium.
The Thanksgiving Breakfast includes:
- Address by guest speaker Michael F. Roizen, M.D., Chair, Cleveland Clinic Wellness Institute; Chief Wellness Officer, Cleveland Clinic
- The Del de Windt Leadership Award for Civic Engagement presented to Senator George V. Voinovich (posthumously)
- Special Guest Appearance by professional football great Earnest Byner, author of “Everybody Fumbles” and friend of The First Tee of Cleveland who lives the Core Values
- The Doris Evans, M.D., Merit Scholarship Award recipient: Patrick McKee
- Special Participant Perspectives Presentation
- Delicious breakfast stations to be enjoyed after the formal presentation
The First Tee of Cleveland is a chapter of The First Tee, a national initiative begun in 1997, which builds character, instills life skills, and promotes healthy choices for young people through the game of golf. I visited The First Tee of Cleveland this summer (read about it here) and was so impressed with the organization and the good that they do for Cleveland youth.
