World welterweight champion Vernon Forrest will receive the prestigious Thurman Munson Award from the Association for the Help of Retarded Children at the 23rd annual Thurman Munson Awards Dinner on Tuesday night, February 4, 2003 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City.
Forrest will be cited for his convincing wins over Shane Mosley and for his renowned work with the mentally handicapped. The Thurman Munson Awards benefit honors the memory of the late, great Yankee catcher who died tragically in 1979. Diana Munson, Thurman's widow, has been involved with the dinner since its inception, assisting AHRC's many programs that enable people with disabilities to lead richer, more productive lives.
