You should read Faith & Fear every day because it’s really great – but if you don’t, here’s some major borrowing from F&F with the goal of promoting a cool event ti support the Tug McGraw Foundation. The Foundation seeks to accelerate new treatments and cures to improve the quality of life for children and adults affected by neurological conditions such as brain tumors, Post Traumatic Stress and Traumatic Brain Injury. You can learn much more about its work by clicking here.
You can get on board with whichever one works best for you.
1) Come to McFadden’s on April 21 and don’t buy us a beer — buy Tug a beer. We’re going to have a fundraising jar and will ask you to contribute the price of a beer — domestic, imported, whatever you’re comfortable with — to our container. All of the proceeds will go to Sharon’s fundraising kitty and from there, it all goes to support the research being done by the Tug McGraw Foundation.
2) If you yourself would like a drink or two before the game (and we can’t blame you if you do), we have a deal that you might like. McFadden’s has arranged to make available special wristbands that night. For $20, you get all the beer or well drinks you canresponsibly enjoy between 6 and 7 on April 21, and 25% of that total will go to our Tug McGraw Foundation fundraising. So in essence you’re paying $15 for “all you can drink” (responsibly) for that hour and $5 to help further the Foundation’s important work. We thank McFadden’s Citi Field for their cooperation in putting this arrangement together.
Do me a favor and read Greg’s entire post. I like being able to use this site to make the world a slightly better place…and there are things that are so much more important than the color of a jersey or how many people showed up at a baseball game.
