Take me out to the ball game…to help build The New St. Anthony’s Dining Room.  Mark your calendars for St. Anthony’s big debut with the San Francisco Giants on April 27^th.  Our very own 2010 World Series Champions will take a swing to strike out hunger and inspire 44,000 Giants fans to be a part of the Miracle on Jones Street.  Shari Roeseler, our Executive Director, will join a team of supporters from St. Anthony’s and the Giants for our first ever Home Plate Ceremony.

Tickets for the game against the San Diego Padres are sold out, but that doesn’t mean you can’t come down to 2^nd and King and enjoy the fun.  MoMo’s Restaurant, the proud sponsors of our 35^th Annual Penny Pitch, invite all St. Anthony supporters to watch this exciting game among friends.  We’re over 80% of the way to reaching our fundraising goal.  With the faithful support of the Giants, MoMo’s, and you, we’re rounding 3^rd and heading home to ensure millions of San Franciscans always have a place to turn to in a time of need.

The Giants and famed pitcher Barry Zito have stepped up to the plate to help build the new St. Anthony’s Dining Room. In addition to two generous gifts, the Giants will feature St. Anthony’s in a Home Plate Ceremony at AT&T park.  Larry Baer, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Giants, kicked off the public phase of our campaign by proclaiming that “Jones and Golden Gate is the most important intersection in the city.”

Barry Zito will also reach out to San Franciscans via radio asking for help to make the new Dining Room possible. As we enter the home stretch of our campaign, we’re proud to have the 2010 World Series champions at bat for us.  Join St. Anthony’s and the Giants in striking out hunger.
