The Olivet Boys & Girls Club is hoping to score big during its 2025 Leaders & Legends Dinner, thanks to this year’s all-star keynote speaker.
Super Bowl champion and now-retired Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham will trade in his helmet and cleats for the stage and a microphone during the non-profit’s annual event on Wednesday, April 30 at the DoubleTree Hotel in downtown Reading.
“We believe champions are built at Olivet Boys & Girls Club so Brandon Graham will fit right in here,” CEO Rick Perez said. “Our team is excited to welcome him to our city for this great event. We know his message will inspire event attendees, as well as our Olivet kids who admire him for his skills on the field and his community service off the field.”
The 2025 Leaders & Legends Dinner is a celebration of Olivet’s exceptional youth and the community that supports them. While the spotlight will certainly be on Graham and his megawatt personality, attendees will also enjoy several other activities, including a raffle, performances by Club Kids, and recognition of Olivet’s Youth of the Year nominees. In addition, Angel Helm will receive the Champion of Youth Award, and Ethosource will receive the Partners for a Great Future Award.
All event funds will benefit Olivet Boys & Girls Club summer camps, which provide life-changing moments like sunny days by the pool and hikes in the great outdoors to children and teens who might not experience them otherwise. Those are the memories that last a lifetime, said event co-chairs Pete and Rachel Rowley.
“Great futures start at Olivet Boys & Girls Club, and this incredible event helps us to continue to invest in the activities that our phenomenal club members love,” they added. “With your support, the next Brandon Graham – or maybe engineer or musician or chef – will get the opportunity to explore their interests and achieve their wildest dreams.”
