Utley's All-Star Animals a Huge Success!

The first annual “Utley’s All-Star Animals” charity casino night was held Thursday May 29th at the F.U.E.L. house in Old City. The night was a huge success and a great time was had by all. The inspiration behind the event to raise money for the Etana Fund, which is part of the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The Etana Fund helps to pay for cruelty investigation and prevention programs conducted by the PSCPA. Overall the event raised $200,000, all of which will go to the PSPCA. Chase and Jenn were joined by a number of Phillies players, including Jayson Werth, Ryan Howard, Pat Burrell, Geoff Jenkins, Jamie Moyer, Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino, Brett Myers, Kyle Kendrick, Greg Dobbs, and Adam Eaton who all came out to have some fun and support a great cause.

For more information on how you can contribute to the Etana Fund, contact PSPCA Director of Development Rachel McCrystal at 215-426-6304, ext. 217 or rmccrystal@pspca.org.

I just wanted to share a quick story about my 6 year old son. A few weeks ago I had to punish my son for a minor infraction by taking away his WII video game system for a week. In order to fill his time he decided to make necklaces ( beads on stretchy string) Around the same time he saw the ASPCA commercial featuring Sarah Mclaughlin. It literally left him in tears. He decided that he was going to sell his “neckalces” and donate the proceeds to the SPCA. Then recently, while listening to 610 in the car he heard about Chase and Jenn Utleys involvement with the ASPCA. Imagine how thrilled he was to find out that one of his favorite baseball players was involved and interested in something he was interested in! It’s so important to show kids that professional athletes ( or anyone famous) are interested in more than just their “sport”. Being a well rounded citizen of the world is more important then any amount of fame or accolades. Thanks for helping to reinforce this life lesson!

I’m a life-long devoted fan of baseball played the right way. It’s been my good fortune to live in the marketing area of many MLB teams and I’ve been privileged to watch many good men play the game. When my son turned 12, as a birthday present and the recognition of his love for the game, I bought him the Sunday Phillies season ticket package for the last year of Veteran’s Stadium. We’ve renewed each year, changing to a 17 game series D set. So I’ve watched Chase do it right virtually since the beginning of his major league career. My son and I are grateful for the hard work, dedication and committment.
