A Benefit For One of My Favorite Causes

I'm linking to this in part because my wife has recently become a breast cancer survivor and we participated in The Race For The Cure in Washington, DC. If your favorite team is having an event benefitting an important charity, please let me know and I'll be happy to post it here.



From the Minor League Baseball official website:



The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes and the Susan G. Komen Foundation are excited to announce that they will be having a Breast Cancer Awareness Night at The Epicenter on Friday, July 27th. July 27th's game is a 7:05 PM contest against the Stockton Ports, the California League affiliate of the Oakland Athletics.


The Quakes have a number of things in store to support those who are fighting breast cancer. Survivors will be recognized on-field pre-game by taking the field alongside the Quakes for the National Anthem. Select members of the front-office staff of the Quakes will also be up for bid in a bachelor auction to be held during the game.


The Quakes will also show support for Breast Cancer victims and survivors by wearing special pink uniforms that will be auctioned off via silent auction during the game. Proceeds from the silent auction along with the front-office bachelor auction will benefit the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. In addition, Friday, July 27th game features a visit by the national traveling mascot act Zooperstars! Presented by Charter Communications, Zooperstars are well-known nationally for providing superior entertainment with skits and sports-themed inflatable mascots, such as "Clammy Sosa," "Snail Ernhart," and "Roger Clammens."
