ESPN star to speak locally
From Jill Kelley, Staff Writer
Former Ohio State and NFL football player Chris Spielman, who is now an ESPN sports analyst and breast cancer awareness advocate, will deliver the keynote address at this year’s annual Wright State University Academy of Medicine dinner Wednesday, April 27.
The annual event honors medical students, residents and faculty from the Boonshoft School of Medicine, and the work of members of the Wright State University Academy of Medicine.
In 1998, Spielman took a year off from his NFL career when his wife, Stefanie, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Stefanie lost her battle with breast cancer in 2009.
Spielman continues to share his family’s story with audiences around the country, raising money for the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research.
The WSU Academy of Medicine is a community-based service organization dedicated to supporting excellence in medicine through education, research and service.
The program will be held at Sinclair Community College’s Ponitz Center, and will include a cocktail reception at 5:30 p.m. and dinner at 7 p.m. Proceeds will benefit WSU medical students.
The event is open to the public. General admission for nonmembers is $50, and the registration deadline is tomorrow, April 22.
