Former University of Georgia football coach Mark Richt will be the keynote speaker at the Cobb County Prayer Breakfast on May 5.
The breakfast takes place at the Cobb Galleria Centre starting at 7 a.m. on May 5, which is the National Day of Prayer.
Richt coached the Bulldogs from 2001-2015 and compiled a record of 145-51. He also coached his alma mater, the University of Miami in Florida. He currently is a college football analyst with the ACC Network and last year was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease.
Richt was a longtime assistant coach at Florida State University under Bobby Bowden before he came to UGA.
Scott Gregory, co-chair of the Cobb County Prayer Breakfast Committee, said “Coach Richt’s faith walk has been such an enormous influence on scores of young people over the years, including my own.
“I was fortunate to attend Fellowship of Christian Athlete meetings in Tallahassee as a young person, where Coach Bowden and Coach Richt shared the importance of faith, family and football. The stories and lessons had a lasting impact on me. We are so grateful to Coach Richt for his willingness to join our community in prayer and to share the power of prayer and faith with us.”
Tickets for the prayer breakfast are $30 each and tables of 10 and sponsorships are available at http://www.cobbcountyprayerbreakfast.org.
