The Giants and Dodgers just finished up their first series of the season and the rivalry is better than ever. Both teams want to beat each other as much as possible, both teams have won the NL West in the past 2 seasons and both teams are dead set on achieving the ultimate goal: winning the World Series. This rivalry is considered one of the greatest in baseball, spanning 2 coasts and more than 120 years. These teams are both competitive and they are both hungry, we are lucky enough to witness some of the best times with this rivalry and it's only going to get better!
Now this may come as a shock but I'm not here to talk about who reigns supreme in various categories or talk stats about who's dominating who. I think it's important to enjoy these great years of baseball, harass your friends who cheer for the other team, poke fun at the team's short comings and have fun with it. The point of this post is to remind everyone that it's just a game and you should never resort to any kind of physical violence over it. As many of you know, 3 years ago on Opening Day between the Giants and Dodgers, Bryan Stow was brutally attacked and his life was changed forever. Sadly, that wasn't the first time that someone was hurt over a sports rivalry and it won't be the last. If you aren't familiar with the story, you can read the latest update here.
Many of you have probably heard about how Tim Flannery, the 3rd base coach for the Giants, was recently able to give Bryan Stow's family a donation of $96,000 to help them with the continuing cost of medical care for Bryan. He recently had to come home from the live-in facility he was being treated in because his insurance ceased payment for his care. It has been estimated that the cost of his care for the rest of his life could total more than $50 million.
Tim Flannery started doing benefit shows back in 2011 to help the Stow Family and has remained one of their biggest supporters over the last 3 years. In addition to the money raised from the benefit shows at the beginning of this year, the proceeds from his album, "Outside Lands" are also being donated to the Stow's. You can purchase the album here or you can download it on iTunes.
I wanted to find a way within my means to support the Stow Family so when I became a Pampered Chef Consultant and found out that we were able to do fundraiser shows for a cause of our choosing, this was the first thing I thought of. I will be hosting a cooking show on April 28th and 15% of all sales will be donated to Bryan Stow. Additionally, I will be matching the 15% with the commission I earn from the show. Now if you don't live in San Luis Obispo, not to worry. You can click this link to place an order from the show all month long. Orders can be placed through that link until 5pm PST on April 30th.
If you can make it to the cooking show, it's going to be a blast with a lot of fun baseball themed food and a great recipe demo that will make for an awesome Game Day meal. So Giants and Dodgers fans alike, please come out for a fun time for a good cause decked out in your team gear. My goal is to give the Stow Family at least $1200 so tell everyone you know about this fundraiser so we can make it a success!
Thanks for taking the time to read my post and help the cause. If you place an order online and don't mind posting it in the comments, I'd love to give everyone who contributes a shout out. I greatly appreciate your love and support and I'm sure the Stow Family does as well. You can visit support4bryanstow.com for additional information and other ways to help.
Peace, Love and Baseball.
