Athlete Connections is a not-for-profit organization founded by Cross four years ago to aid student-athletes with their transition from the athletic world to the professional world.
Silent and live auctions, dinner, an open bar and dancing will be featured during the evening, along with performances by Florida-based Evolushon Band and contemporary jazz performer Aaron Bing. The event is set from 6-11 p.m.
Among the athletes set to appear are former Florida quarterback Shane Matthews, former Florida forward Andrew Declercq, former Denver Nuggets guard Chucky Atkins and Central Florida athletic director Keith Tribble.
Individual ticket prices start at $75, and sponsor tables are available for purchase.
