The Youth Job Center of Evanston and McGaw YMCA are combining forces with Northwestern head football coach, Pat Fitzgerald, to share with the community ways to motivate youth to reach their full potential. The event is entitled, “From Moving Chains to Changing Lives: A Conversation with Northwestern Football Coach Pat Fitzgerald.”
This event will take place on Saturday, February 19, 2011 from 7:00-9:00 p.m. at a private home in Evanston. Cocktails and appetizers will be provided.
“This event brings together two major youth-serving organizations in Evanston and one of the most talked about and respected coaches in NCAA Football-Pat Fitzgerald, “states Kim Hoopingarner. “Coach Fitz is clearly skilled at motivating young people and developing their potential.
