We sincerely thank everyone who attended our Sportsman of the Year Banquet where we roasted and toasted Chicago Cubs pitcher and OC native Kyle Hendricks. The event was filled with great fun, humor, and a wonderful collection of silent and live auction items. Together with the overwhelming support of our attendees and sponsors, we raised over $145,000 to support youth sports programs and student athletes in Orange County!

that one was by far the classiest.” – Buck Johns
