A sincere thanks for putting my cause in our newspaper (The Manhasset Press). My cause was collecting new and used baseball equipment. The equipment was collected on behalf of an organization called “Pitch In For Baseball.” Submitting the article helped to spread my project across the town, which drastically impacted the results for my project: 50 baseball bats, 15 baseball helmets, five sets of catchers’ gear, 30 baseball mitts and over 200 brand-new baseballs! Additionally, thank you to all of the stores in Manhasset for allowing me to put up my flyers. Along with the press, it is meaningful to do a simple action for a cause that seems unimportant, but dramatically and positively affects the lives of other people. And, lastly, a final thanks to everyone who donated either money, equipment or both.
