Oct. 3, 2012 - PRLog -- Members of the community, led by local clergy, will participate in this event Friday December 7, 2011 at Thomas' Crystal Gardens 16703 Fort St. Southgate. This celebration gives us an opportunity to support continued moral growth in our community.

Breakfast is available at 7:00am and the program will begin at 8:00am and end promptly at 9:30am. With expanded capacity we have had up to 1400 in attendance and this event sells out quickly. Past speakers have included Ernie Harwell, Gloria Gaither and more.

Highlighting the 25th annual Downriver Community Prayer Breakfast at the Crystal Gardens in Southgate on Dec. 7 will be former Detroit Tigers' pitcher Frank Tanana.
   
The former Tiger pitcher, dubbed "Tan-talizing Tanana" by legendary Tigers broadcaster, Ernie Harwell, Tanana pitched for the Detroit team from 1985 to 1992. Throughout his career, which began with the California Angels in 1973 and ended with the New York Yankees in 1993, Tanana accumulated 34 shutouts, 4,000 innings pitched and 2,773 strikeouts.
   
A native Detroiter, Tanana attended Detroit Catholic Central High School before launching his baseball career. Midway through his career, he converted to Protestantism and became a leader in the Christian community.

Currently, he resides in Farmington Hills, where he and his wife, Cathy Mull, both serve on the Pro Athletes Outreach Board of Directors and are involved in the Home Plate and Career Impact ministries. In 2006, Tanana was inducted into the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame.
   
The cost is $15 per person  and each table seats 10 guests. A $150 donation will entitle the donor to be recognized as a patron in the breakfast program and to receive two tickets at a reserved table or  a $600 donation includes a table for 10 and will be honored in the sponsors program, made prior to Nov. 16,.
   
To order tickets or pick up tickets, contact Bovitz CPA, P.C., (734) 671-5300 1651 Kingsway Court, P.O. Box 445, Trenton, MI 48183
