I am so excited about our LiveStrong Day with the Durham Bulls baseball team that I had to come here and spill my excitement out all over the place. In fact I was squealing I was so delighted after we met with the manager of the baseball team today.
A bit of background: Boyce and I wanted to raise money for LiveStrong and we decided about 3 months ago to meet with the Durham Bulls Baseball team and see if they would be interested in helping us. We were happily surprised that they were very excited about our ideas. The player’s jerseys are normally white with the bull’s logo in blue and black. Well, the jerseys have been dyed “LiveStrong” yellow and they have the LiveStrong logo on them. They turned out beautiful!
The players are going to have a regular game and wear these very cool jerseys while they are playing. After the game, the players will sign their jersey and then it will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. We are also selling LiveStrong t-shirts at the game and having other items in the auction. They also made duplicates of the player’s jerseys in Child sizes so a kid could wear one too. A local bike shop is going to donate a LiveStrong bike for the auction as well.
They will be playing the LiveStrong manifesto on the jumbo-tron and I will be at a table with lots of literature about cancer and how people can get involved. Boyce will get to go out on the field before the game during the announcements. We are hoping to raise 10k for the cause.
At our meeting today with the baseball team, it all started really coming together. I am so excited about the event and I can’t believe it is really going to happen!! When the web-link goes up I will post it. For anyone that wants more information, you can always e-mail me [email protected]
Really taking action for something you are passionate about feels fantastic!
