“I’m honored to join the Board of this outstanding Foundation,” said Levine.  “With the help of Major League Baseball, the Yankees, and other supporters, Don Hooton and his team have done more over the years to educate our kids as well as their parents and coaches about the dangers of these drugs than any other organization.  Every young person they reach with their message is potentially a life saved.  I look forward to being part of their efforts to drive awareness of this problem as well as helping them reach their goal of eliminating steroid abuse.”

“It’s not every day you have the opportunity to bring someone of Randy’s stature into an organization,” said Taylor Hooton Foundation Board Chairman Neil Romano.  “His accomplishments as President of the Yankees for the past 12 years are well-known and considerable,” said Romano, “but his abilities go far beyond just the game of baseball.  In the increasingly complex world of business and philanthropic endeavors, there are few people better than Randy to have on your team!”

“Having someone like Randy Levine join our Board is further validation of everything we’ve been trying to accomplish since this Foundation started over 8 years ago,” said THF Founder and President Don Hooton.  “I’m absolutely thrilled that he’s agreed to join us, and excited to think about how much more we can accomplish together over the next few years with Randy’s help,” added Hooton.… Continue Reading…
