Minneapolis Star Tribune, June 23
The cold and rain didn’t keep 100 Cheerful Givers fans from cheering on the Minnesota Twins at Target Field on June 12. Tickets to the game were sold as a fundraiser to help the charity provide toy-filled birthday gift bags for less fortunate children in Minnesota.
The group also enjoyed wavers featuring right fielder Michael Cuddyer, which were provided by Animal Fair/Sports & Entertrainment.

Baseball fans everywhere recognize the name Yogi Berra, former major league baseball player and manager who played most of his career for the New York Yankees, was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1972, and is regarded as one of the greatest catchers in baseball history. “It ain’t over till it’s over” is probably his most famous quote.
We were excited to learn from Bob Salomon, promoter of the book “A Glove of Their Own” that he has gained the support of this legend at the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center.
A Glove of Their Own is a children’s book that is touching hearts across the nation. When ordering, choose Cheerful Givers on the drop-down menu, and $3.00 per book will be donated to Cheerful Givers.
The next great catcher Bob would like to add to his amazing list of supporters is Joe Mauer. Spread the word!
