I provided the art work for the event as well as quite a few hand painted baseballs that they had the Phillies" players sign. Then they auctioned them off. The painted baseballs raised $2,600.00 for the foundation.

I also provided a hand painted Richie Ashburn bat that was auctioned and brought in $750.00.

We took lots of photos with the current and former Phillies that were in attendance. Below are a few of them.
