Boyd Christian will host its Annual Spring Benefit on Tuesday, April 26, at the McMinnville Civic Center.

Frank Wycheck, former tight end for 11 seasons with the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans, will be this year’s guest speaker.

Wycheck has 505 National Football League career receptions for 5,126 yards, and his 28 touchdowns ranks him fourth all-time among tight ends. He exited football as not only one of the top pass catchers in team annals, but also one of the most revered members of the franchise.

Tailgate festivities will begin at 5:30 p.m. on banquet night, and the main banquet and program will begin at 7 p.m.

Tickets may be purchased from G.B. Greene, Thorold Ramsey, Eva Ferrell, Carol Hamblen and C.N. Womack. Tickets are now on sale. Organizers invite everyone to join them for this year’s event, and encourage everyone to get their tickets early, as a sold-out banquet is anticipated.
