Celebs Hit the Batting Cages for Charity
By Jebbica | June 20, 2008
Musicians and Major League Baseball teamed up at this year’s Bonnaroo festival to hit balls in the VIP batting cages for charity. Thanks to artist and fan participation, a donation of $5000 was made to Rock the Earth (www.rocktheearth.org). “Rock the Earth is a not-for-profit, national public interest environmental organization dedicated to protecting and defending America’s natural resources through partnerships with the music industry and the world-wide environmental community.”
Bands and Fans alike stepped up to the plate to take a swing at the MLB Road Show. Ahead of the festival, Major League Baseball pledged to make a donation for every hit from artists who step into the cages. As well, any Bonnaroo attendee visiting the MLB Road Show batting cages would contribute $1 to the eventual sum donated to Rock the Earth, simply by stepping up to the plate.
Bands like Rogue Wave, Kings of Leon, O.A.R., Ozomatli, The Weather Underground, Umphrey’s McGee, Steel Train, The Postelles, and more took a few swings to do their part for charity. Check out the photos below of these big hitters!
