Bobby Cox and John Schuerholz will be featured guests at a dinner honoring the Double-A Mississippi Braves (formerly Greenville Braves) on Jan. 24. The event, dubbed “A Celebration of Champions” (though the Greenville team finished in the cellar of their division last year), will start at 6 p.m. CT at the Hilton-Jackson in Jackson, MS. The dinner itself will start at 7 p.m. CT.

In addition to dinner, speakers and presentations, the Mississippi Braves will be holding a silent auction and raffle for prizes and autographed memorabilia. Proceeds from those activities will benefit Jackson Metro Area charities.

Tickets can be purchased in advance for $35 each (or $300 for a table of 10) at the M-Braves offices (226 Saint Paul St. in Pearl, MS) or by calling (601) 932-8788 or 888-BRAVES-4.
