Our Lady of the Wayside Teaming Up With the Tribe

Tomorrow night’s Tribe game will be a win-win between and Indians fans as a cut of the money generated from ticket sales will go to help the non-profit organization. 

Under the "Fill the House" charity program, OLW will receive $5 for every ticket they sell, and the non-profit will take in $1 for every ticket sold by the Indians. 

And given the size of Progressive Field and this year’s above-average attendance by fans, OLW is expecting tens of thousands of dollars in donations, and are encouraging folks to go and support the good cause. 

“Our Lady of the Wayside appreciates being a part of the Indians ‘Fill the House for Charity’ program,” President and CEO Terry Davis said. “We are looking forward to a great night and an Indians victory!” 

For over four decades, OLW has provided healthcare services to children and adults with Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities (MRDD), Landau Public Relations rep Paula DePasquale said. 

Over the years, the organization has grown from operating three large facilities housing 80 residents to currently operating 46 homes in 29 communities in Cuyahoga and Lorain counties which serve nearly 400 residents. 

One of the OLW residents will throw out the first pitch as the Tribe faces off against the Oakland Athletics at 7:05 p.m. tomorrow night.
