Guest Comments
Thank you so much to umpires, Ted Barrett and Angel Hernandez, for making Matt and Zane's first Rockies game of the year truly a night to remember. Matt and Zane were in awe of you guys as you walked over to them and shook their hands. They were excited to receive official major league baseballs from you and they couldn't stop looking at them all night! One of the most memorable parts of the meet and greet was when you guys called over Jake Peavey from the Padres and the boys got to meet him. The seats were fabulous and the Rockies winning the game ended the night on a perfect note! The boys thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. It was such a special night for all of us! - Sarah Hunter

Special Thanks To

  • Dallas Davis (Rockies Community Relations) for assistance at the stadium.
  • Sarah Hunter (Wendy's Wonderful Kids Recruiter) for all that you do every day and for taking the boys to the game.

GUEST COMMENT (Kim Felder)
Thank you for a wonderful evening at the ball park for Eric, Aaron and Dominic. The boys had a great time and the seats were fantastic. They especially enjoyed going behind the scenes to meet the umpires. The look on their faces when we came up onto the field and looked back into the stands was worth a million bucks! Both Eric and Aaron couldn't get over how tall Ted was. They also told and pointed out to all of the people sitting around us in the stands that they meet Ted and he was a "great guy". Thank you so much again for coordinating a wonderful evening for the boys!

THANK YOU! - Keira Hertz (Dodgers Community Relations) and Kim Felder (Wendy's Wonderful Kids Recruiter) for your role in making this a wonderful experience for everyone.

AGENCY COMMENT: (fron Erin) "I just spoke with one of our matches earlier this week about the great experience he and his Little had at the Cubs game made possible by your organization. The volunteer went on and on about the game and the Little’s excitement to go out on the field and meet an umpire. I think I speak for all of our matches when I say many thanks for this great opportunity."

GUEST COMMENT: (from Alex) "Thank you so much for making Saturday possible. Everything turned out great, the weather was perfect, meeting the umpires and going out on the field was so much fun, the Cubs won, and most importantly Chanelious and I had a blast! It was such a memorable experience for the both of us. One that we'll remember for a long time. Thanks again for inviting us."
