11. Home Runs That Help campaign: This is a great way to give back to your community and it really adds a special moment during your son’s Home Run hitting. Please read more info about the program.( http://power-showcase.com/home-runs-that-help/) Also the promo video explains in a much greater detail so watch the Promo video again.
Contact your local church/hospital/childrens hospital / school to find a partner (. or family/school mate – etc.)
Partner does not have to have a terminal disease – last year’s winner, Travis Flores, partnered with his grandfather who has alzheimer’s.
You then will set a time with the player and partner to meet – you will take a photo and send that to Lynn. Along with basic info about the child – Our Announcer mentions interesting tidbits about the partner along with player’s baseball stats, etc. (You should also contact your local newspaper and have them cover it )
Once I get the pictures- of course it goes on player profile page and other pages in the site.
When Player is up at bat, his first home run hit – the ball is retrieved, signed by Player and the distance added.
After the Derby – Player & partner will meet again so Player can present the ball. (And another photo op for local media) and again, you send that photo/info to Lynn and it’s added to the site.
Player and partner’s pix go on the Jumbotron at Chase Field when Player is up at bat. Our Announcer mentions interesting tidbits about the partner along with Player’s baseball stats, etc.
We broadcast the event LIVE on the web so the partner could even be watching when Player is at bat. This is a great way to give back to your community and it really adds a special moment during your son’s Home Run hitting.
Please contact me should you have any questions. I can be reached directly at (561) 271-7247.
