Special Angels in the Outfield

It was a special day at the ballpark for my friends who lost their daughter last year, just a few months before her high school graduation. It was Emily's decision to leave this world. But it was her family and friends' decision to keep her memory alive through a foundation that helps people who need certain kinds of help but can't afford it.

Today was a fundraiser for the Emily Klopotek Angel Foundation at the Timber Rattlers stadium in Appleton. We called it Angels in the Outfield.


And look at all these angels! There about 80 or so pictured here but more than a hundred showed their support. How wonderful!


And the sun was shining, too, so Emily's mom and I knew Em was smiling down on us.


Our large group was acknowledged on the jumbo-tron, too. I guess that officially makes us amazing. Hats off to all the organizers for putting together the tailgating ahead of time, the game tickets (and Timber Rattler victory), and gorgeous weather!


As a bonus, It was a nice date day with hubby. That's two days in a row we were seen together! Thank you, angels for aligning the stars – and our calendars.
