Minnesota Twins players, Brian Duensing, Josh Willingham and Kyle Gibson joined 100 guests for the Cheerful Givers 4th annual Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser on July 20 at the Chart House Restaurant.
After learning more about the charity, Twins players conducted a lively q&a session and gave out some great autographed items. Adding to the festivities were“royalty” – Rebecca Yeh – Miss Minnesota 2013, Gianna Capuzzi – Miss Minnesota Collegiate, and Corrina Swiggum, -Miss Teen Minnesota. A live auction included use of the Mauer/Morneau suite, a player-signed bat and opportunity for a First Pitch at a game in Target Field. Guests also enjoyed autographs and photos with the players.
Over $14,000 was raised which will provide birthday gifts for more than 1,400 less fortunate children. Many thanks to sponsors: Home Federal Bank, Thrivent Financial, Michael & Claudia Cuddyer, and Inver Grove Hyundai, as well as volunteers and guests.
