Leaders and Legends

Friday and Saturday Sessions

Back in September 2024, the PenFed Foundation was honored to be named the beneficiary of Baseball Hall of Famer Tony La Russa’s Leaders & Legends event. This incredible partnership highlighted our shared commitment to supporting veterans and military families, with funds raised helping to fuel our mission of empowering those who serve.

"The PenFed Foundation does more for veterans than anyone else in the country. This is a partnership that Leaders and Legends is fortunate to extend because the more we do, the better. You can't do enough for veterans," said La Russa. "Legends know how they are successful, and they explain the keys, so what you'll see at this event is that you'll walk out of there with friendships with legends and they will walk out of there with friendships with you."

“Leaders and Legends is a unique event that offers attendees a wide range of views from business and sports personalities in a format that is informative and entertaining.”

John Watson, Former Chairman and CEO, Chevron Corporation

“Leaders and Legends is a front- row seat at an intimate gathering of incredible individuals from on and off the field. This is an experience that never ceases to incite greatness in those who attend.”

Howard Schultz, Former Chairman, Starbucks Coffee Company

“I never ceased to be amazed at the quality and variety of the presentations at every Leaders and Legends event.”

Jerry Reinsdorf, Owner, Chicago Bulls (NBA) & Chicago White Sox (MLB)
