| USC Head Baseball Coach Ray Tanner |
Founded in 2005 by USC's head baseball coach and his wife, Karen, the foundation provides support for adoptive families, those who care for seriously ill children, the homeless, and other charitable causes. The foundation is a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt, non-profit organization dedicated to the betterment of economically and medically disadvantaged children and their families.
The event will feature complimentary alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, heavy hors d'oeuvres, live and silent auctions of sports memorabilia and other items, and the opportunity to visit with current and former Gamecock athletes.
Among the 20 to 25 auction items will be pieces from the PGA tour, framed photos, and merchandise from area retailers. Included in last year's live auction was a Manager for the Day in which the winning bidder got to sit with the USC baseball team in the dug-out during a non-SEC conference game.
"It's all an effort to provide a good time for people who enjoy Gamecock baseball while meeting other enthusiasts and helping a good cause," said Matthew G. Holland, Tanner Foundation director of development.
Tickets for the event are $100 with limited seating, available by calling 877-352-6224 or visiting www.RayTannerFoundation. org.
