The David Wright Foundation was founded
in 2005 by David Wright of the New York Mets. The sole purpose and
mission of the foundation is to provide financial support and raise
awareness for those in need and to financially support other charitable
organizations. The foundation pays special attention to Multiple Sclerosis
and children's causes, and maintains its focus on the New York City
and Norfolk, Virginia metropolitan areas.
Tonight, friend of TWS and MetsBlog’s own Regis Courtemanche will be hosting a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society from 7-10 pm at Lansdowne Road, a bar located at 599 10th Avenue in New York City.
The event will coincide with the Mets vs. Braves game and admission is free.
There will be drink specials, and a raffle to win items from MeiGray (memorabilia from Shea Stadium), SNY (Mets tickets worth $500), Gary, Keith & Ron, Ommegang Brewery, Blue Smoke, Brooklyn Brewery, Top of the Rock, Chelsea Piers, Louisville Slugger, Trapeze School of NY, Random House, Crunch Fitness, Antonio Prieto Salon, Off The Wagon, NY Shaving Co., Village Pourhouse, Croton Tavern and many more.
There is no donation required, but any amount is appreciated.
For more on Regis’s ongoing campaign to raise $5,000 before the end of the season.
He will be selling tickets for the raffle at the event, and all proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society.
