The holiday season will be here before you know it.
Don’t worry – we have your holiday shopping covered!
You can make a difference by providing the comfort of a new Build-A-Bear® furry friend to a child battling illnesses in the hospital through our UMPS CARE Charities Holiday Hugs Campaign. This is a gift that brings a smile to the face of a young patient and their caregivers.
And it’s the gift of a hug – where else can you get just the perfect gift?
Want to make an even bigger impact?
Gather your friends, family, school group, umpire association, fellow employees together and create a group fundraising page. Any individual or group that raises $500 will have the opportunity to join a festive Zoom call with Major League Baseball Umpires, past and present – complete with door prizes!
Oh … there’s more! Our friends from the Arby’s Foundation are once again matching $10,000 in donations, dollar for dollar, to this campaign!
We can help! Just email Amy Rosewater at [email protected] and we will get
you started.
