The keynote speaker is NFL Pro Bowl quarterback Ron Jaworski and he will speak at the Opening Kick-Off event on Wednesday, Oct. 18, as well as take questions from the audience, sign autographs and take photos.
Jaworski “Jaws” played for the NFL for 17 years starting with the Los Angeles Rams as a second-round draft in 1973. After playing for the Rams, Jaworski went on to play for the Philadelphia Eagles in 1977 and helped the team advance to its first-ever Super Bowl berth against the Oakland Raiders in 1980.
After retiring from the NFL, Jaworski became an analyst on ESPN for Monday Night Football. He also started Jaws Youth Playbook, which focuses on improving the health and wellness of at-risk youth in the Greater Philadelphia area.
Jaworski has multiple business ventures, including Ron Jaworski Golf Management Inc., which he is the CEO of.
