Hamlin will speak Saturday at the Youth Leadership Institute of Erie’s Global Youth Service Day event at East Middle School. He’ll also receive a sizable donation to his foundation’s community toy drive, which has seen an influx of support in the months following Hamlin’s on-field health crisis.
Saturday’s celebration of Global Youth Service Day will feature workshops, training sessions and raffles centered around this year’s theme ― health and wellness. Hamlin will address the audience during the event, and there will be a charity concert from 3-5 p.m.
Same-day tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at East Middle School, 1001 Atkins St. Admission is free, but attendees are asked to bring a toy to donate.
