An Important Charitable Cause
Since
September 11, 2001, Americans have come together as never before in our
generation. We have banded together to overcome tremendous adversity. We have
weathered direct attacks on our own soil, wars overseas, corporate scandals,
layoffs, unemployment, plunging stock prices, droughts, fires, and the myriad of
economic and physical disasters both great and small.
Now, we must come together once again to overcome our greatest challenge
yet.....
Hundreds
of Major League Baseball players in our very own nation are living at, just
below, or in most cases far above the seven-figure salary level. As if that
weren't bad enough, they could be deprived of their life-giving pay for several
months, possibly longer, as a result of the upcoming strike situation. You can
help!
For only $20,835 a month, about $694.50 a day (that's less than the cost of a
large screen projection TV) you can help an average MLB player remain
economically viable during his time of need. This contribution by no means
solves the problem as it barely covers the annual minimum salary, but it's a
start, and every little bit will help!
Although $700 may not seem like a lot of money to you, to your favorite baseball
player it could mean the difference between spending the strike golfing in
Florida or on a Mediterranean cruise.
For
you, seven hundred dollars is nothing more than a month's rent, half a mortgage payment, two unemployment checks, or a month of medical insurance with
COBRA. To a baseball player, $700 will partially replace his daily salary. Your
commitment of less than $700 a day will enable your favorite player to buy that
home entertainment center, trade in the year-old Lexus for a new Ferrari, or
enjoy a weekend in Rio.
Can you pitch in? So to speak?
