The Annual Dinner keynote speaker is Brian Westbrook!
Brian Westbrook is a former Eagles fan-favorite and All-Pro Running Back. A College Football Hall of Fame Inductee, Westbrook was a star at Villanova University where he was a two-time Atlantic 10 Player of the Year and recipient of the Walter Payton Award. He holds the all-time NCAA record with 9,512 all-purpose yards in his college career. Because Westbrook holds over 30 records for Villanova football, it was no surprise when he was inducted into the Villanova Athletics Hall of Fame in 2016.
Don't miss his keynote address, "From Gridiron to Greatness: A Playbook for Perseverance, Goal Setting and Teamwork," by purchasing tickets to the event today!
