Former
Suns Star Jeff Hornacek
to MC Crozier Dinner
Jeff Hornacek has been chosen as the MC for the 17th
Annual Crozier Dinner which will take place on Saturday,
April 16 at The Camelback Inn, A JW Marriott Resort
in Paradise Valley. Hornacek was drafted by the Phoenix
Suns in 1986 and spent the first six years of his
14-year NBA career with the team before being traded
to the Philadelphia 76ers.
He has been called "one of the
last consummate shooters in basketball," because
he achieved the sixth-longest free throw streak in
NBA history (67 consecutive throws) while he was with
the Utah Jazz. A devoted family man, Hornacek is known
for wiping his face 3 times before making each free
throw as a way of saying "Hello" to his
three young children. Tickets for the Crozier Dinner

Recording artist Tony Orlando will headline the event.

current wishes. There is no charge for the workshop
but reservations are advised by calling 602-354-2400.
