Mercy Hospital has been the primary sponsor for several years. It will raise funds to support the more than 3,000 members of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Springfield. Many of the youths come from disadvantaged circumstances and depend on the club as a stabilizing force. To donate to the event, Mercy is offering several different levels of sponsorship: at $5,000; $2,000 and individual at $250.<\/p>\n

Pitino, the only coach in NCAA history to take three different teams to the NCAA Final Four, joins a list of past athlete speakers including last year\u2019s speaker, Nick Saban, from the University of Alabama football coach, NFL Hall of Famer Mike Ditka, Boston Celtics icon Bill Russell, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, and former University of Kansas and current University of North Carolina basketball coach Roy Williams.<\/p>\n
