About the event

Evening of Hope featuring Jim Morris
The Methodist Home proudly presents our 13th Annual Evening of Hope fundraising dinner on October 2, 2025. This special night will feature guest speaker, Jim Morris, former MLB pitcher and motivational speaker. The event will begin at 6:30 p.m. at The Methodist Home's Rumford Center located at 304 Pierce Ave. in Macon.

Jim Morris was a high school science teacher and coach in west Texas who miraculously made it to the Major Leagues at the age of 35. His life story made cinematic history through the heartwarming and unforgettable Disney movie, “The Rookie”, starring Dennis Quaid. Jim pitched two seasons for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays reaching speeds up to 102mph and chose to retire to raise his children.

Jim has been honored to receive a Lifetime Achievement award from the Bobby Bragan Youth Foundation, a CAMIE award for Character and Morality in Entertainment for “The Rookie,” has been involved with BCFS, Arms of Hope, Texas Youth Commission and other philanthropic efforts. He launched his own Foundation in 2015 giving back to underserved communities and children. Jim and his wife, Shawna, have raised five children and live near San Antonio.
