Wakeman Boys & Girls Club's Celebrity Breakfast featuring Mike Pressler Raises $65,000

November 18, 2015 - Wakeman Boys & Girls Club’s Celebrity Breakfast presented by Safety Marking featuring Bryant University Lacrosse Coach Mike Pressler took place on November 5 at Fairfield University. This year’s event raised more than $65,000 for Wakeman programs, making it the most successful Celebrity Breakfast in Wakeman history.

More than 220 guests were in attendance to hear Pressler speak about his coaching career. Armen Keteyian, an Emmy-winning news correspondent, author, and host of 60 Minutes Sports on Showtime, also joined Pressler on stage for a question and answer session. The event was sponsored by Safety Marking, Inc. and Blue Buffalo.

"We are very grateful to all who participated in this year’s Breakfast to raise funds for Wakeman programs,” said Wakeman’s Executive Director Dave Blagys. "A special thanks to Armen Keteyian and Mike Pressler and to the members of our Breakfast Committee: Sean Sullivan, Paul Halas and Michael Fox. This event continues to be very successful and it is thanks to the efforts and generosity of our planning committee, guests, and friends of the Club.”


The Celebrity Breakfast is one of three fundraisers on Wakeman Boys & Girls Club’s special events calendar. Other fundraisers include the Great Futures Benefit Auction on March 12, 2016, and the Corporate Golf Outing on June 6, 2016. For more information about Wakeman Boys & Girls Club, visit www.wakemanclub.org
