Miami, FL – January 27, 2018 – Jon Jay, MLB outfielder, former player on the St. Louis Cardinals World Series Championship team, Miami native and Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade alumnus, hosted the 7th Annual Jon Jay FMSbonds Celebrity Bowling Challenge that raised $75,000. More than 250 guests joined Jay at Splitsville Lanes in Miami, for a fun-filled event that benefited Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade’s Project Learn After-School Program, serving Club members in grades K–8. The sold-out crowd included Major League Baseball stars and local celebrities including Gio Gonzalez (Washington Nationals), Jon Beason (retired NFL), Kevin Seigrist (St. Louis Cardinals), Tommy Pham (St. Louis Cardinals), Kolten Wong (St. Louis Cardinals) and Danny Valencia (MLB free agent). The surprise of the evening came when Gerard Loisel, past president of the University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame, presented Jay with the official jacket and ring from UM Sports Hall of Fame. Jay was inducted last year but was not present to receive the iconic jacket and ring.
