Baseball Prospectus, Issues Concerning Athletes, and MiCamp Merchant Services to Host Celebrity Bartending Night to Benefit Amyloidosis Support Groups
Scottsdale, Arizona (PRWEB) March 14, 2014 -- Baseball Prospectus, owner of BaseballProspectus.com, Issues Concerning Athletes, a real estate venture which targets professional athletes, and MiCamp Merchant Services announced today that it will host the fourth annual “Celebrity Bartending Night,” on Saturday, March 22 at American Junkie to benefit Amyloidosis Support Groups. Amyloidosis is a group of diseases in which one or more organ systems in the body accumulate deposits of abnormal proteins. Although amyloidosis is not cancer, it is very serious, disabling, and life threatening.
“We at Baseball Prospectus are both honored and humbled to take part in such a special event to raise funds for Amyloidosis awareness,” said Joe Hamrahi, President of Baseball Prospectus. “My colleagues and I, along with great sponsors such as Schumacher Sprinter/Airstream, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Perfect Game, P.R.O.S. Corporate Housing, and so many great baseball players, are looking forward to an incredible night at American Junkie with all proceeds benefitting Amyloidosis Support Groups.”
Renowned play-by-play announcer Daron Sutton will emcee the event which will be held from 9 – 11PM and is scheduled to feature professional baseball players Anthony Rizzo, Adam Eaton, Matt Lindstrom, Casey Kelly, Billy Hamilton, Ryan Kalish, George Kontos, and others tending bar. A limited number of General Admission tickets are available for purchase in advance via BaseballProspectus.com for $50 per person for the event. Tickets include mingling with celebrity bartenders and a hosted bar by Ketel One Vodka, Bulleit Bourbon and Deep Eddy Vodka. Guests will be treated to ballpark fare - cotton candy, popcorn, soft pretzels and gelato from Gelato Spot. Coach and Willie’s/Coaches Corner will be catering a private dinner for the bartenders from 8-9PM that evening.
“Issues Concerning Athletes is excited to host this event benefitting Amyloidosis Support Groups, a charity very close to my heart. My father lost his battle with Amyloidosis last winter, and I know the value a support group provides to patients and caregivers affected by a rare disease. I’m grateful for the opportunity to help raise money to support families affected by Amyloidosis,” said Erica Brooks, founder of Issues Concerning Athletes. “This night is fast becoming the go-to charity event of spring training and one players and fans will not want to miss.”
