Lazydays RV Partners With Grand Slam Adoption Event
Co-hosted by Kate Upton & Detroit Tigers Pitcher Justin Verlander
TAMPA, Fla. (PRWEB) April 05, 2016
Lazydays, The RV Authority and world’s largest RV dealership, proudly partnered with Wins for Warriors and the Detroit Tigers to support the second annual Grand Slam Adoption Event in Lakeland, Florida. Co-hosted by model and actress Kate Upton and Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander, the event was held prior to the Detroit Tigers vs. New York Yankees spring training game at Joker Marchant Stadium on March 31. All proceeds benefited SPCA Florida and K9s for Warriors.
Hundreds of pet-lovers and baseball fans attended the 2016 Grand Slam Adoption Event, which featured adoptable dogs from SPCA Florida, a virtual silent auction, T-shirt giveaways, live radio broadcasts and a variety of family-friendly activities. National Champion K9 Unit Officers from the Lakeland Police Department conducted live demonstrations at the event, and military veterans and their canine companions were on hand to represent K9s for Warriors, which provides service dogs to veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress and/or traumatic brain injury as a result of their military service.
Lazydays provided a luxury Class A motorhome as an onsite “green room” for celebrities Upton and Verlander during the Grand Slam Adoption Event.
“I am so grateful for the work that both SPCA Florida and K9s for Warriors accomplish. I want to encourage the adoption of these loveable animals who need homes, and also to honor the veterans who have given so much for our country," said Upton. “We are very grateful for the support from our sponsors and community partners, and plan to make this an annual event.”
“Lazydays is proud to support the Grand Slam Adoption Event in its efforts to place homeless animals with loving families,” said John Lebbad, Chief Marketing Officer for Lazydays. “Many of our customers’ lifestyles include pets as family members and we have the greatest respect for military personnel and veterans, among whom we count many as our customers. That’s why the decision to sponsor this event was a home run with everyone on our team.”

86 Schools Gain Competitive Edge with 2016 California Casualty Thomas R. Brown Athletics Grants
Eighty six public high schools in 34 states received a total of $102,500 in California Casualty's Thomas R. Brown Athletics Grants. Applications for 2017 grants are being accepted at http://www.calcasathleticsgrant.com.
San Mateo, CA (PRWEB) April 04, 2016
Athletes at 86 public high schools from 34 states will benefit from a 2016 Thomas R. Brown Athletics Grant from California Casualty. The schools will share $102,500 that will go towards purchasing new equipment, improving athlete safety and offsetting sports participation fees. Some schools received multiple grants.
The grant is named after California Casualty Chairman Emeritus Thomas R. Brown, who is a champion of helping more student-athletes learn valuable lessons of teamwork and confidence. Since its inception in 2011, more than 400 high schools across the nation have received over $500,000.
Many of the schools have large student populations that receive free or reduced-cost lunches and consequently have fewer and fewer dollars allocated for their sports programs. California Casualty’s continued support is essential for these schools, as evidenced by Hazelwood, Missouri, where the school board recently cut $1 million from their operating budget, eliminating 16 physical education teachers and decreasing high school athletic and activity funding by 10 percent.
The 93 Thomas R. Brown Athletics Grants awarded this year will help:· Hazelwood High in Missouri purchase badly needed baseballs, bats and uniforms for the boys baseball team
· Norwood High in Ohio reduce or eliminate participation fees for students who want to play on the football team, providing a positive afternoon activity for more teens
· Oak Harbor High in Washington to obtain new uniforms for the freshmen basketball team that had been using tattered, outsized “hand-me-downs”
· Fremont High School in California replace soccer goals that have been badly bent and ripped by many years of use
· Millbrook High in North Carolina purchase uniforms for the coed cheer team that serves special needs students
“Sports play an important role in schools across the country,” said Doug Goldberg, Senior Vice President. “California Casualty has supported educators for 65 years and we are honored to give back to help more student-athletes compete and succeed.”
There is an exciting new addition for the 2016/2017 California Casualty Thomas R. Brown Athletics Grants – the program has been expanded to include public middle schools. Applications are now being taken at http://www.calcasathleticsgrant.com. The deadline for consideration is January 15, 2017.
California Casualty has other initiatives that give back to educators for all their hard work including the $2,500 Academic Award, http://www.calcasacademicaward.com and $200 Help Your Classroom grants, http://www.calcas.com/help-your-classroom.
A complete list of the 2015/2016 recipients follows.
Headquartered in San Mateo, California, with Service Centers in Arizona, Colorado and Kansas, California Casualty provides auto and home insurance to educators, law enforcement, firefighters and nurses in 44 states. Celebrating 100 years of service, California Casualty has been led by four generations of the Brown family.
