Atlanta Braves pitcher Tom Glavine is teaming up once again with the Georgia Transplant Foundation (GTF) on Friday, Feb. 6 to host the 17th annual "Tom Glavine's Spring Training."
The event is being held at the Georgia Aquarium's Oceans Ballroom from 7:30 to 11:30 p.m.
Since the events debut in 1992, "Tom Glavine's Spring Training" has raised more than $4.3 million to benefit the Georgia Transplant Foundation. GTF uses the funds to provide emergency financial assistance, mentoring, scholarships, and a host of other services to more than 6,500 Georgians affected by organ transplantation.
Guests will have the opportunity to step up to the plate and take on an all-star line up of celebrity athletes at a number of casino games for some friendly competition.
This year's live auction will include jaw dropping items such as Miley Cyrus and Jonas Brothers signed guitars, as well as a presidential piece featuring 18 presidential first pitch photos and autographs.
