Great afternoon with Hank Aaron

[jason.1969]

Each year for the past sixteen, the Milwaukee Brewers Community Foundation has hosted the Hammer as a fundraiser for his Chasing the Dream Foundation. I was able to attend yesterday and can't say enough good things about it.

Will tell about the experience here through pictures...

The event was in the Aaron-Yount meeting room at Miller Park (Brewers Stadium). Pretty fancy place...


There was a nice buffet set up for all of us. Carving station, antipasti, desserts, etc. And some nice Hank decor!


After reps from each foundation spoke, the night's emcee took over. (And speaking of Mr. Great Seats himself, I ended up with the best seat in the house.)



Mr. Aaron told a few stories and took some questions from the crowd, myself included.


After the Q&A we all got to shake hands and take a picture with him!


For our "troubles," the Brewers also gave us autographed souvenirs.


And great seats to the Brewers/Reds game that night. The game didn't have many highlights but this got the crowd cheering!!


And on my way out, I paid tribute at a couple other Hank Aaron landmarks.
