Good Cause


So the high school baseball team alumni form a group, raise $50,000 and rebuild the high school baseball field. I learned that one of the alums is a stand up comedian and he arranged for the baseball fund raising group to hold a 50/50 raffle at one of his performances at a local club. A gifted woman (most likely purchased gifts) offered to help run around the audience with two other baseball fund raisers selling tickets. The woman (I think she was a current player's mom) sold significantly more tickets than the others. The woman agreed to sell tickets at the next event - a diner in October.

I went to the next event and watched the woman do her thing. If you bought twenty bucks worth, she did a couple of little joy jumps. Of course she knew the drill and loved the attention. She sold a lot of tickets. Why not?
