LAS CRUCES - Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens will visit Las Cruces this spring as the featured speaker at the 18th Annual Lou & Mary Henson Community Breakfast benefiting the Boys & Girls Club of Las Cruces.
The fundraising event is scheduled for 7 a.m. Thursday, May 14 at the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum.
Organizers say the breakfast has brought nationally recognized speakers to Las Cruces since 2009 to help support programs serving youth through the Boys & Girls Club.
Owens played 15 seasons in the NFL after being drafted from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. During his career, he recorded 1,078 receptions, 15,934 receiving yards and 153 receiving touchdowns. He was selected to the Pro Bowl six times, earned five first-team All-Pro honors and was named to the NFL’s 2000s All-Decade Team before being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018.
Ashley Echavarria, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Las Cruces, said the annual breakfast continues to celebrate the legacy of longtime New Mexico State basketball coach Lou Henson while raising support for the club’s programs.
“We are indebted to the Henson family for their partnership and support over the last 18 years and feel honored that we have the opportunity to continue to honor Coach Henson’s legacy through our Club,” Echavarria said. “This breakfast is an important moment for our community to rally around our Club kids. Terrell Owens’ story of drive, resilience and excellence will inspire our guests and, most importantly, the young people we serve. We are thrilled to welcome him to Las Cruces.”
Event sponsorships are available, and organizers say a limited number of individual tickets will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Sponsors will also be invited to attend a VIP reception the evening before the breakfast with Owens and members of the Henson family.
