Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band Chicago will perform live at the event. “For over 31 years the Great Sports Legend Dinner has supported a singular essential mission, finding a cure for paralysis,” said Buoniconti Fund founder Nick Buoniconti. “This event has raised funds and awareness for groundbreaking, much-needed spinal cord injury research, as well as cutting- edge treatment programs.
