On Thursday January 19, 2007 more than 400 people gathered at the River Oaks Country Club, for the annual luncheon benefiting The Center – Serving Persons With Mental Retardation. This luncheon will definitely be one to remember, after the hearing the touching but, very inspiring story of Dick Hoyt and his son also known as “Team Hoyt.”
Dick Hoyt and his son, Rick Form “Team Hoyt” together, they have completed in over 945 athletic events in the last 27 years-including 25 Boston Marathons and 8 Iron man Triathlons. It’s a remarkable record of exertion-all the more, when you consider that Rick can’t walk or talk. They also travel the world speaking out to educate the public about with disabilities and promoting the Team Hoyt motto, which is “Yes You Can!”
This year’s banquet is honoring Elizabeth Deluca a lifetime supporter of The Center and Founder of The Carline School.
