LEGENDARY SF GIANTS PITCHER, DAVE DRAVECKY, BRINGS MAJOR LEAGUE LIFE LESSONS TO ALAMEDA

Inspirational Speaker Brings Top Gun Game In Special Appearance And Fundraiser

This is a two part audio set on the famed pitcher’s life lessons about the power of self worth and the need to use it to the benefit of others, especially the youth of today.

Part One is an introduction to preface and contextualize Part Two and tells of Dravecky’s mind-boggling personal life experiences and riveting message about his still ongoing journey of helping folks to help others.

In Part Two you will hear from Dravecky himself in a one on one, unscripted interview that looks more deeply into his message in ways that go beyond his half-hour presentation before the Alameda Boys and Girls Club audience.  His words best tell this inspiring story of overcoming the powerful forces of life’s headwinds and serious setbacks.

In it, he tailors his message to the youth of our community and elsewhere.
