I'm proud to be a participating umpire of BLUE for Kids.  Please join me to lift the spirits of children by donating for the cost of a Build-A-Bear Workshop stuffed animal ($35).   Stuffed animals are given to children coping with serious illness such as cancer, blood disorders, cerebral palsy, and cystic fibrosis.
