The Charleston RiverDogs today announced that the organization’s 19th Annual Hot Stove Banquet will be held on January 27th in the Segura Club at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park. This year’s featured guest will be Mike Veeck, the organization’s President Emeritus. Veeck is a longtime baseball executive, marketing expert, and the mastermind behind some of the RiverDogs most memorable promotions. Tickets to the event are already on sale.

Veeck is a nationally renowned speaker, entrepreneur, college professor, philanthropist, owner of multiple minor league baseball clubs, and more. His “Fun Is Good” philosophy has been featured on the NBC Nightly News, 60 Minutes, The Late Show with David Letterman, and many other national media outlets.

He founded Fun Is Good, an Employee Engagement Consulting Firm, because he says he is passionate about helping organizations around the country develop and sustain a positive, fun, and creative culture for their employees and customers.

The event will open at 6 pm with a cocktail hour and silent auction that includes baseball memorabilia from past Hot Stove speakers, collectibles from RiverDogs Director of Fun Bill Murray, vacation packages, and more.
