The YMCA of South Palm Beach County has done it again. 

The local non-profit organization has lined up another spectacular leader in sports to swing through Boca Raton and inspire and motivate us all early one March morning. 

FOX Sports veteran reporter Erin Andrews will serve as the keynote speaker for the 2024 YMCA of South Palm Beach County Inspiration Breakfast. 

“How can you not be pumped?! Erin Andrews is such a trailblazer in sports commentary.  I’m also excited to hear how she took her on-field passion of football and translated it into entrepreneurship,” says event chair Brad Winstead.

Andrews, an Emmy nominated sports broadcaster, can be seen weekly on “FOX NFL Sunday.” Last year, Andrews launched a podcast that she co-hosts with Charissa Thompson called “Calm Down with Erin and Charissa” for iHeartRadio. The podcast consists of unfiltered conversations between two girlfriends about life, gossip, sports and pretty much every random topic that needs to be dissected. Andrews also recently launched a women’s NFL apparel line, WEAR by Erin Andrews. 

“I am looking forward to hearing from Erin and hope that she shares behind the scenes stories of some of the incredible sporting moments that she has had a front-row seat for,” says YMCA of South Palm Beach County CEO Jason Hagensick.

According to Hagensick, funds from the Inspiration Breakfast will support the YMCA’s “KIDS TO CAMP” initiatives, including providing much-needed scholarships to children and families that need assistance.  

“The Inspiration Breakfast has so many avenues to connect people of Boca Raton and surrounding areas. It’s part networking, part celebration, but most importantly a message that connects so many people with the vision of the YMCA of South Palm Beach County,” says Winstead. 

Past keynote speakers include NBA legend Bill Walton, NFL legend Emmitt Smith and Super Bowl MVP and Heisman Trophy Winner, ESPN College Gameday’s Desmond Howard
