Our First Hollywood Appearance!

Here we are, unforgettaballs.com, at the Baseball Scouts Foundation Gala-we donated 2000 Unforgettaball baseballs to be center pieces on all the tables, and a few hundred that when into the VIP lounge. It was a really great event, and I was able to take pictures with lots of clebrities, and people in baseball-


Here I am with Mary Hart who hosted the event with Tim Allen:

Only problem with an event like this, is as a small company (like we are), it is a lot of money to do these kind of events. Who knew, but to get into all of the events where you give your product away for free to the media/celebrities, you actually give it for free!! Somehow, (and I think I am the last one to figure this out), but I actually thought, the company running the event bought them, and then they gave them for free!

I have many more photos that I could upload, with Tommy LaSorda, Tony Gwynn, Rod Carew, but to be honest, it takes me so long to upload them, and have them on the page where I want, that I am going to have be done for now! (Just picture the rest, ...they all look good, and I am in the same dress as above)

My building your small business advice for the day: Exposure costs money, so choose carefully and proceed slowly. A big splurge each year is probably what is affordable, and then also gives you time to see what response you receive. (Charities are always great events, b/c then you are involved with helping your business, and helping a good cause at the same time.)

I was reading over your blog and wasnt aware of the scouts foundation. I googled it and it seems like a very worthy cause. I think it is great when a business like Unforgettaballs can tie itself to a good cause. I was wondering if you got a chance to meet MLB commish Bud Selig and how you decided what balls to feature.

It is a really great cause-the Scouts are a very important piece to major league baseball, but they are often forgotten. I saw Bud Selig, but did not get a chance to meet him! I did meet the owners to so many different teams- the Phillies, the Diamondbacks, the Nationals, it was very cool!
