Greetings to All!

I hope everyone out there is enjoying their time as summer approaches!  The baseball season is well underway, and everything is going well on this end.   I'm here to tell you that I am playing again in the 3rd annual UMPS CARE Charities Golf Marathon on November 10th, 2010.  For those of you last year who donated, I greatly appreciated your support, and so did every child who benefited from your generosity.  For those first time donators, you are making a great step to help a lot of people.  The proceeds raised from the event will fund the following youth and family care initiatives:

• The BLUE for Kids program that brings Build-A-Bear Workshop experiences to children coping with cancer and other serious illness;
• The BLUECrew Tickets program to provide memorable baseball experiences for children awaiting adoption and at-risk youth in mentoring programs;
• The All-Star Scholarship open to children adopted from foster care to provide increased opportunities for for advanced education; and
• The Family Care program to aid family members of former Major League Baseball umpires who have fallen on difficult financial times.

Please pledge your support by making a tax-deductible donation online or by personal check.  A donation of ANY amount is appreciated.  That's right, every dollar helps!

WALK or HIT BY PITCH = $10; SAC BUNT or FLY = $15;  SINGLE = $25;  DOUBLE = $50;  TRIPLE = $75;  HOME RUN = $100; and a GRAND SLAM = $250 or more!
