We are all riding high on the Chicago White Sox, the new World Champions. Here is another reason to celebrate the Sox organization--they also care about children with disabilities. About a month ago, the Sox organization donated a large block of prime tickets to CNS Foundation so that a group of children with disabilities could go to the game along with their families. CNS Foundation is an organization that raises money to benefit research on diseases and disorders of the Central Nervous System ("CNS").
Many of these children (including my son) had never been to a professional sports game before. The children had a super time, especially when the scoreboard exploded. The food was great and the stadium was incredibly accessible. The stadium staff was helpful without pity. They seemed prepared and accustomed to helping individuals with disabilities. Kudos to the Sox for great baseball and for making the experience accessible and enjoyable.
Way to go Charlie! I just read this and I agree the Sox deserve a big pat on the back for a good deed well done.
