Join us for an inspirational conversation of hope and recovery with Drew Robinson at the Beacon of Hope Luncheon
Drew Robinson is a former Major League Baseball player, mental health advocate, and professional speaker. Born and raised in Las Vegas, NV, Drew was drafted by the Texas Rangers out of high school and went on to play parts of 12 seasons with the Rangers, St. Louis Cardinals, and San Francisco Giants organizations. In 2020, Drew miraculously survived a suicide attempt resulting in a new-found purpose of helping others and destigmatizing mental health.
Leveraging his tagline, Strength Isn’t Always Physical, Drew is dedicated to sharing his journey and showcasing vulnerability to prevent suicide and promote mental health care. Drew currently works in the mental health and wellness department with the San Francisco Giants where he advocates for player mental health and peer-to-peer support.
