3x All-Star, World Series Champion, and former Major League Baseball All-Star Anthony Rizzo was the featured speaker at the 59th Annual Boys Town Booster Banquet, held at A View West Shores on Thursday, May 7. The event brought together supporters, community leaders, and sports enthusiasts for an inspiring evening celebrating Boys Town student-athletes and raising over $420,000

Throughout the evening, Rizzo shared personal stories about perseverance, leadership, and giving back, encouraging guests with lessons learned throughout his baseball career and philanthropic work.
