Joining Up With Nick Swisher for a Good Cause

Saw a Nick Swisher tweet today: @NickSwisher: Lee National Denim Day is coming up soon! Join my team @nickswisher.net, donate $5 for impt cancer research & wear your jeans on Oct. 2!

From the release on his website: New Yankees star Nick Swisher has joined Lee National Denim Day, one of the country’s largest breast cancer fundraiser, to help raise money for groundbreaking cancer research. As a co-ambassador to the Entertainment Industry Foundation, Swisher is participating on behalf of his grandmother, one of the most influential women in his life, who passed away from cancer several years ago – the cause is very close to his heart. Please join Nick by visiting his team page.

The group name is "Nick Swisher & Friends" and the group ID is: "235202". I went to the website, denimday.com, and sent in my donation and I encourage you to do so as well. Like Nick Swisher, my grandmother also died of cancer. Let's all work together with one of my favorite Yankees to help champion a very good cause.

Helping Out a Good Cause

I received this e-mail recently and wanted to forward it along. A good cause and a great time to help out.

Hi Andrew

I thought you would be interested in helping out The Fresh Air Fund by posting a mention of this exciting news on No You're A Towel. The Fresh Air Fund received a tremendous offer by some very generous donors. Any gift given from now until June 30th will be matched dollar-for-dollar.

We are also still in need of hosts for this summer. Host families open their hearts and home to a child to give a fresh air experience that these children never forget.

Thank you so much,

Sara
