A joint fundraising effort between Global Citizens Initiative (GCI) and Matsui 55 Baseball Foundation (Matsui 55), two nonprofit organizations focused on programs that empower youth, is scheduled for Sept. 20 at Tamarack Country Club in Greenwich. Former Yankee Manager and Hall of Famer Joe Torre will join this special event for a one-of-a-kind fireside chat with Bobby Valentine. Other MLB personalities are expected at the golf outing and dinner.
Yumi Kuwana, Greenwich resident and president and founder of Global Citizens Initiative, encourages support for the two organizations that are working to empower the next generation of young people.
Tickets for golf foursomes and the VIP dinner are available on a limited basis. To register, visit https://conta.cc/2u2EovE.
The goal of Matsui 55 is to have as many young people as possible learn the joy of playing baseball and develop a passion for the game, while promoting the importance of critical thinking skills. The charitable organization was founded by former New York Yankee and Yomiuri giant Hideki Matsui in 2015 as a way to give back to the game of baseball and the fans that supported him throughout his career.
