A's Day (Root Beer Float, anyone?)

You won’t want to miss the Oakland A’s Annual Mug Root Beer Float Day on August 4th beginning at 10:35AM and continuing until 12:35 PM in the Eastside Club at the Coliseum. Join the A’s players, local celebrities, radio and television personalities as they serve MUG Root Beer Floats and sign autographs in the Eastside Club. Don’t forget to bring your camera! Proceeds from MUG Root Beer Float Day benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

August 4th is also JDRF Diabetes Awareness Day with the Oakland A’s. JDRF will be providing special discount Field Level Seating and a free t-shirt at the discounted price of $20 for JDRF supporters (regular price $26) and $2 of each ticket will be donated back to JDRF by the Oakland A’s!

Game time is 12:35 as the A’s take on the Kansas City Royals. Be sure to arrive early and allow plenty of time for your group to stop by the Eastside Club for a MUG Root Beer Float. T-shirts may be picked up on August 4th from 10:35 AM to 11:30 AM in the Eastside Club Lower Level Lobby (located behind Section 142) at the Oakland Stadium.

To purchase tickets visit OaklandAthletics.com/JDRF.

We hope to see you at the game!

Alice in JDRF Land

Greetings!

Welcome to the blog where I will be posting Outreach Events for JDRF related fun(d) raising, here in the beautiful East Bay area of Northern California! It is my hope that friendships and support will be happily linked with the finding of the cure for Type 1, or Juvenile, Diabetes.

If you have any ideas, questions, resources to share, or just want to say hello, please do not hesitate. You can find me on Facebook at facebook dot com/lynngalliano or email me at galliano dot gang@sbcglobal dot net.

I am excited to share with you all that the manager of Contra Costa Cinemas has graciously offered to donate his time for a private showing of ALICE IN WONDERLAND IN 3D opening weekend. In addition, $7.00 of each ticket will go to JDRF to fund research! Tickets are $15.00 per person and INCLUDE A DRINK AND POPCORN. There will also be a raffle prize (to be announced the week before the event) that everyone will have a chance to win, and possibly more than one prize! I will send out a flyer as soon as it has been made to follow up. There is a potential that thousands of dollars can be raised, just by going to a movie!

Here's the nitty gritty:

The theater is at 555 Center Avenue Martinez, CA 94553 (925) 228-9980

You can bring family, friends, co-workers, but we do need RSVPs to Lynn Galliano 925-825-4683 galliano.gang@sbcglobal.net or Carolyn Eisen ceisen@jdrf.org by March 1st

THE DATE IS SATURDAY MARCH 6TH

MOVIE BEGINS AT 9:30 AM (BECAUSE IT IS NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC)

PLEASE BE AT THE THEATER BY 9 AM TO GET TICKETS, RAFFLE, POPCORN AND SEATS!

I hope to see lots of old and new friends and raise money seeing Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter!!! :-)

Questions? Just give me a holler!

Best Wishes,
