Very nice! I'd love to get me one of those bats! $200.00 isn't bad! :tinhat34

Thanks for sharing that information, and of course it's for a great cause!

They look great, and at only $200 for one of a limited edition of 100, sounds like an awesome Christmas present for someone!

However, they can't have been very easy to sign!

Another event to sponsor the project!

D-Day event will benefit Major Dick Winters project

Monday, March 14, 2011
By BARBARA MILLER, The Patriot-News

The late Maj. Dick Winters and the men of Easy Company will be honored at the June 6 Lancaster Barnstormers game in Clipper Stadium. Original Easy Company veterans and actors from the HBO series “Band of Brothers” are invited to attend the 6:30 p.m. game and a VIP reception that will precede it.

Funds raised will benefit the Richard Winters Leadership Project of filmmaker Tim Gray, who plans to erect a monument of Winters in Normandy and create a documentary about him. Gray, who will attend the game, said he is halfway to his $200,000 goal for the monument. Dedication will be June 6, 2012, in Normandy.

Game tickets, which are $10, go on sale Wednesday at http://lancasterbarnstormers.com. VIP tickets are $75, available by e-mailing [email protected]. There will be special raffles. Sponsors are sought for the events.

The events are organized by the Barnstormers, Tim Gray Media and Jordan Brown, a South Lebanon Twp. boy who has raised $32,000 by selling wristbands with Winters’ “Hang Tough” motto, said his mom, Yasmin Brown. Jordan Brown will be appearing live on “Fox and Friends” at 8 a.m. Saturday to talk about his project.
