Former major league manager Terry Collins is about to enter his first spring out of coaching in some time. He will fill his time with events like Niagara University's First Pitch Dinner. 

Collins is slated to speak at the event on February 3rd at the Four Points by Sheraton in Niagara Falls. The third annual dinner serves as the perfect opportunity to celebrate the past, present and future of the Purple Eagles baseball program. 

The event begins at 5:30 p.m. with a one-hour reception that is followed by dinner. Individual tickets are $65 and a table of ten is $550.
