Come Throw Strikes with C.J. Wilson

[AngelsWin.com]

By David Saltzer, AngelsWin.com Senior Writer

 

One of the things that made me an Angels fan as a kid was all the community involvement from the players and the team. It was always different with the Angels. It was my team. My players. My community. As a fan, it made me proud to see my guys doing good good on—and—off the field.

 

At AngelsWin.com, we are a strong community that supports good causes. Last month, we raised over $6,100.00 for the O. C. Miracle League. I’ve shared that number with numerous people in the Angels front office and with the players, and everyone was blown away but how much we raised. We did good for our community.

 

Now, we have a chance to do it again. We can come throw strikes with C. J. Wilson on Thursday, September 19, 2013 at 6:00 pm as he raises funds for the C.J. Wilson Children’s Charities, which supports the Hematology and Oncology Clinic of Children’s Hospital of Orange County, the Hemotosis and Thrombosis Center at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, and the San Diego Hemophilia Camp. Those hospitals do a lot of good healing children—our children, in our community. 

 

In the past, I interviewed C.J. about his charities. Click here to listen how and why he chose to support these charities.

 

This is an incredible opportunity for Angels fans. How often have you wanted to meet an Angels player and bowl a game? And, to top it off, how good would it make you feel knowing that your game while you were doing it, you were raising money to help heal local children dealing with major illnesses?

Will there be any nibbling?

[Dave Saltzer]

Food and non alcoholic beverages will be provided. That's nibbling. I hope that we can bring a good turnout to support this. There's no game to go to, so what a great way to spend a Thursday night.

Go figure. I went to this last year. It was a FANTASTIC time!! Actually got to bowl with Bobby Wilson.  CJ spent a lot of time taking pictures and signing autographs for everyone, and he also does a raffle--some of the raffle prizes are better than you can even imagine!!!  There was a gold necklace there.  It included a beautiiful chain, and it was this awesome left handed baseball glove with a diamond for the baseball. Had to be AT LEAST a karat. and tickets were only $1 each, if I remember correctly.

Dave did and covered the entire event into the wee hours of the night. We will have a post up soon, including an interview with CJ Wilson.

I have a lot of respect for the Angel players and management that give back so much to the community. They have a blessed life economically and for them to give back to those less fortunate is a great thing to see. What they do in real life off the field is more important than anything they do on the field.
