Yankees GM To Take Part In Virtual Event To Help CT Families

STAMFORD, CT — New York Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman will take part in a virtual conversation, presented by the Greenwich-based Family Centers, on May 14 at 11 a.m. The event is intended to support local families most affected by the new coronavirus, according to an announcement.

Over Zoom, Cashman will provide his outlook on the prospects of Major League Baseball's 2020 season, offer first-hand perspective on the Yankees' offseason moves and share classic stories of memorable games and his interactions with Yankee greats. He will also answer some audience questions.

All proceeds will benefit Family Centers' emergency family assistance fund, which provides financial relief to Fairfield County residents seriously impacted by the virus, also referred to as COVID-19. (To sign up for Greenwich breaking news alerts and more, click here.)
