All proceeds from the event will directly benefit the baseball program, including helping fund the team's trip to South Korea in the summer of 2015 to represent the country in the World University Games in Gwanju City, South Korea.
The night will begin with a cocktail hour in the courtyard accompanied by live music, autograph opportunities, photo booth, and silent auction.
College baseball legend and former Cal State Fullerton baseball head coach Augie Garrido will be the special guest speaker at Dinner With the Titans, the program's biggest fundraising event of the year.
Garrido is the winningest coach in college baseball history with a 1,920-892-9 overall record in 46 seasons. He was the first coach ever to lead two different schools to National Championships (Cal State Fullerton and Texas) and guide teams to titles in four different decades (1979, 1984, 1995, 2002, 2005). Garrido was inducted into the Omaha College Baseball Hall of Fame in 2013 as part of the inaugural class.
At Fullerton, Garrido ranks as the all-time winningest coach in school history with an 875-341-5 record in 19 seasons (1975-87, 91-96). He earned four National Coach of the Year Awards (1975, 1979, 1984, 1995) and led the Titans to three national championships as well as a runner-up finish in 1992. The Titans made it to seven College World Series' with Garrido at the helm and made it to the NCAA Tournament in 16 of his 19 years at Fullerton.
