Steinbrenners host spring baseball outing TAMPA, Fla. – Around 200 alumni, parents, grandparents, children, and friends attended the Culver Clubs of Florida event March 2 hosted by the Steinbrenner family. The outing involved a luncheon followed by the New York Yankees defeating the Detroit Tigers in a spring training baseball game at the George Steinbrenner Field.
An indoor picnic was followed by remarks from Mike Perry, the Academies’ chief advancement officer, and Jennifer Steinbrenner Swindal ’77, vice chairperson of the Yankees. Perry thanked the guests for attending, and also thanked the Steinbrenner family – Hank ’76, Jenny, Jessica ’82, Hal ’87, and their mother, Joan – for providing a wonderful venue for Culver fans to gather, enjoy lunch, and cheer on their favorite baseball team. Swindal said that Culver has been an integral part of the Steinbrenner family for many years, as her father, George ’48, each of his children, as well as her two children, have all graduated from Culver. Supporting Culver is important to the Steinbrenners, Swindal added, and she hoped that everyone in attendance would also consider making a gift to The Culver Fund. The event was underwritten by the Steinbrenner family and all proceeds were a gift from the Steinbrenner family to The Culver Fund.
