Cobb Sports Complex and the Atlanta Braves
raise

$10,151

to support the Illien Foundation
for the Orphaned Children of Ethiopia

Saturday, September 22nd 2007
 

On your Mark...

The doors opened at 8:00AM, but the line started at 7.  The fans could not wait to see their favorite Braves player.  Anticipation was high for a chance to get signatures from Atlanta Braves players such as:  Jeff Francoeur, Tim Hutson, Buddy Carlyle, Tyler Yates, Ron Mahay, Lance Cormier, Chris Woodward, and third base coach Brian Snitker.

Get Set...

Not only was this a great opportunity to get a autograph from the players in attendance, but fans names were also entered into a raffle for chances to win additional signed items from other players.

Go...

Pens flying and cameras flashing, the event gets a great start as Tim Hudson and Buddy Carlyle greet their fans just after an applause filled entrance.

Spirit of Good Will

Many thanks to the fans for coming out and supporting Cobb Sport Complex and the Braves in this event to raise money for the Illien Foundation.  Through the several activities that were planned for the day, we were able to raise $10,151 for the foundation.
