Amazing support of Ginter

UPDATE 2: I've been told that the freshman game raised more than 3,000 dollars for the Ginter Family, and that donations continue to arrive.
Lynda Denman, who organized this great event, sent an email. Let me share part of it ...

We will continue to give our own league players and families who were unable to attend Tuesday night's game an opportunity to contribute through this Saturday's games. It was absolutely thrilling to see the number of people who showed up to support this - it was so well supported by our own league, all the players and their families from all three of our high school's baseball teams as well as a packed stand of Damien supporters and well-wishers and others who were drawn to support the cause."

Lovin you in the SGV: Thanks to all of you for making this a special week. I got an email from the Ginter family and they were overwhelmed by your support. It's little things like this that make all the difference in the world. In the most difficult time of their lives, you helped lift a families spirit. I can't think of anything more honorable or heart-warming -- Fred.

WHAT WAS WRITTEN EARLIER THIS WEEK --We don't normally promote freshman baseball games, but this is no ordinary event. Glendora and Damien's freshman team will play Tuesday night at Henderson Field at 7 p.m., in what has become a fundraiser for Ayala varsity baseball player Kyle Ginter, who was diagnosed with Burkitt's Lymphoma on April 17, and has been fighting his illness at the City of Hope in Duarte. The schools are not charging for the event, but they're accepting donations, and will donate all proceeds from the snack bar to the Ginter family. The snack bar staff is also donating their wages for the night, so anyone who has a few bucks and the time to spare, please visit Henderson Field on Tuesday night to offer your support. If you can't make the game, you can send a donation to Kyle Ginter, in C/O Tami Thomann, 14291 Willowood Lane, Chino HIlls, 91709. Do what you can, what happened to Ginter could have happened to any of us, and lets wish him well in his recovery.

UPDATE:I just got a call that the Glendora High School booster club will match the donations raised at tonight's event. I can't tell you how heartwarming it is to hear the community coming together like this.
