On April 6, Phan Cave hosted its Inaugural Opening Day Tailgate party to celebrate the Phillies home opener against the Boston Red Sox. More importantly, this event was an opportunity to #tailgate4good and raise funds for a great cause. The profits from ticket sales and proceeds from the silent auctions have been totaled up to an astounding $2,000 donated to the 501(c)(3) charity, Shane’s Future Days.
Shane’s parents and founders of the charity Paul and Michele were in attendance to honor their late son. They brought wristbands to give out to tailgate attendees as a way to support the awareness of Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS), the rare cancer Shane Metzgar very recently lost his battle to.
