Dine with the Oakland Raiders and help Fred Finch

Coliseum dinner will honor Raiders’ team member, kids

On Tuesday, October 24, 2000, Fred Finch Youth Center will host the Third Annual Ed Block Courage Award Foundation Oakland Raiders Recognition Dinner, at the East Side Club in the Networks Association Coliseum.

Round tables, lights, buffets groaning with food and more than 500 people will fill the Oakland Coliseum's East Side Club for a fine evening, Tuesday, Oct. 24, to honor an Oakland Raider who has shown courage, this year, and to honor four Fred Finch students for achievement.  UM Review photo/Ted Langdell

The Ed Block Courage Award Foundation is dedicated to providing care, support and treatment to abused children and families in crisis in NFL cities across the country.

For Fred Finch, a key provider of such services to the Bay area for more that 108 years, this new partnership with the foundation has enabled us to bring our work to the attention of many people, while continuing to provide quality care, education and programming to youth at risk.

Last year’s recipient was cornerback Eric Allen. A year ago, Eric faced the end of his career after suffering an injury that severely damaged the ligaments in his knee. It was his courage and determination in coming back from this injury that lead his teammates to select him as the winner of last year’s award.

For information about sponsoring or attending this year’s dinner and silent auction please call Vanessa Gregory, Development Associate, at (510) 482-2244, x 266, or e-mail her at vanessagregory@fredfinch.org
