RBI Annual Awards Dinner at the Westin Galleria Hotel

With baseball names in attendance like Josh Beckett, Huston Street, David Aardsma, Larry Dierker, Jimmy Wynn, Milo Hamilton, Brandon Backe, Matt Albers, Doug Rau, Charlie Maiorana, Jack Schultea, Rayner Noble, Wayne Graham, Tal Smith, Tim Purpura, Chris George and Jerry Davanon, the Westin Galleria crowd was "abuzz" most of the night. Baseball legend, Roger Clemens, made a special guest appearance to honor his high school coach, Charlie Maiorana. The sellout crowd of over 600 people definitely got their money's worth on this special night in Houston.

Randy McIlvoy and Hall-of-Famer announcer Milo Hamilton shared the emcee duties for the evening. Houston area high school and college baseball/softball players were honored throughout the night. The silent and live auctions raised a record-breaking $100K for our foundation. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ATTENDED AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AGAIN NEXT YEAR!
