MILLERSVILLE, Pa. - Millersville University's annual celebration of its best and brightest student-athletes, Dining with Champions, is returning on Thursday, April 29 in a virtual format. This year's event features Toronto Blue Jays' pitcher and Millersville alum Tim Mayza as the keynote speaker, a virtual mixology experience with a renowned beverage developer and online auction.
The event is free to join and the online auction opens for bidding on Thursday, April 22. Because the virtual event includes interactive features, registration is required and donations to support student-athlete scholarships and program needs are encouraged. The first 50 registrants will receive a unique opportunity to virtually join Aaron Gordon, a cocktail creator for bars and restaurants in New York City and Miami, for a Speakeasy Mixology Xperience. Registrants will receive everything needed to prepare two craft cocktails including bar equipment and everything to make scratch-made syrups. Non-alcoholic options are also available.
The Speakeasy Mixology Xperience will be held from 7-8 p.m., and awards presentations and message from Mayza start at 8 p.m.
