Dear
baseball "brothers & sisters"-
All of the professionals participating in this event have
agreed to volunteer their time at no cost. Attendees are asked to
donate $10 per person or $25 max per family at the
door (checks payable to FEFC). All monies collected
will go towards my Kingdom Assignment:
serving the needs of those less fortunate here in Austin. God has
richly blessed me through my relationships in the baseball community
and it is my desire to use these resources to bless you and many
others.
We will also be gathering gently used baseball equipment to
be donated to area youth leagues.
May you be blessed by this event and opportunity,
Andrew Prater
