Hi Joe- I just came across your blog when I went on a hunt for media in the Salisbury/ Fruitland, MD areas. I’m not sure if this is the type of thing you prefer to cover but since it’s community news I wanted to send it just in case.Dustin Phillips, an 11 year-old Fruitland resident, is one of this year’s brave faces representing this year’s Triple Winner Game, an annual fundraiser to help fund research to fight children’s cancer, by Giant Food. Dustin is a patient at The Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins University of Medicine. His courage and spirit have inspired and given hope to other children with cancer. His motto is “Have No Fear.”
Dustin lost his right arm but has an ever-present positive attitude. In fact, he wants to be a left-handed pitcher when he grows up and recently had the opportunity to meet Brian Matusz, the left-handed pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles, thanks to Giant Food. He is a fifth-grade student who enjoys Legos, history and Nintendo Wii.
I’ve attached a photo of Dustin at the Triple Winner Game kickoff, at Camden Yards.
The Triple Winner game is a scratch-card promotion in which every ticket is an instant winner of either a free product, a gift card or cash prize up to $10,000. The program, which runs until July 9, 2009, allows customers who make a $1 donation in any Giant Food store to receive a Triple Winner game ticket. One hundred percent of donations received from Giant Food customers for the Triple Winner program will directly benefit The Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins University of Medicine and the Children’s Cancer Foundation. Triple Winner is one of the most successful cause marketing programs in the country and this year, Giant has committed to raise $1.5 million.
Thank you for your time. Let me know if you can mention this on your blog so the community knows how to go out and support Triple Winner.
Best,
Jamie Miller
