Young Republicans vs. Young Democrats Charity Softball Game This Sunday
The St. Louis Area Young Republicans and the Young Democrats of Greater St. Louis are reaching across the aisle in a joint effort to sponsor the first annual "Father's Day, Take A Chance, Cool Down St. Louis" Softball Benefit. The first-time fundraiser is to benefit Cool Down St. Louis, a regional, non-utility, all-volunteer, non-partisan, cooling assistance and education charity. The joint non-partisan effort is scheduled for this Sunday, June 15, at 2:00 p.m. at Lyon Park at Broadway and Arsenal, across from the Anheuser-Busch brewery.
Area political leaders are being asked to sponsor various honorary softball positions - managers, pitchers, trainers, coaches, bat boys and girls and each team will have 15 players. 100% of the proceeds from the ticket donations and sponsorships will all go toward helping area seniors and the disabled pay their electric bills or purchase new air-conditioners in about 17 Missouri and Illinois counties, including the City of St. Louis.
Missouri Lt. Governor Peter Kinder, and St. Louis County Executive Charlie Dooley are serving as the honorary club owners, and Richard Mark, Senior Vice President of Missouri Delivery Service for AmerenUE is the honorary club president. AmerenUE made a special $5,000 donation as a club president sponsor.
There are various sponsorship levels. The public can obtain a $20 donation ticket prior to the celebrity softball game and ceremonies through either group.
This year's fundraiser will also include special door prize drawings, courtesy of Emmis Communications and the Pasta House Co. Prizes include a HP laptop, KSHE Blues Party for Ten, $250 cash or gift certificate, and $100 and $50 Pasta House gift certificates.
Cool Down St. Louis is the regional summer program of Heat-Up St. Louis, a non-profit, energy assistance, non-utility charity. Cool Down's goal is to help qualified elderly and disabled people, and poor families with small sick infants to avoid health-related deaths and illnesses.
The charity provides donated brand-new and used air-conditioners, and also helps pay some electric bills. Donations are tax-deductible as all expenses are underwritten by a volunteer board or corporate sponsor, so that 100% of each public donated dollar helps the needy. The summer effort is often the only regional financial safety net during the hot and humid days of summer.
Larger donations can be sent to: Cool Down St. Louis, c/o UMB Bank, P.O. Box 868, St. Louis, MO 63188.
For additional information call James W. Knowles III, President of the St. Louis Area Young Republicans at 314-452-2718.
