“The question isn’t who’s going to let me; it’s who’s going to stop me.”
~ Ayn Rand
On Thursday, about 30 club members from across all of our clubs got a chance to go school shopping with a few of the Cleveland Indians’ players.
The Cleveland Indians partnered with Macy’s and Levi’s hosted their annual “Shop with the Pros” back-to-school shopping trip. After eating lunch at Great Northern Mall, our club members were split into groups to be paired up with an Indians’ player and his family. A few of the players that were present were Matt LaPorta, Joe Smith, Tony Sipp, Justin Masterson, and of course the infamous Slider, the Indians’ mascot. After taking numerous pictures, off the groups went to go school shopping at Macy’s! Each member was given $100 to buy school clothes and had a blast as they joked, laughed, and shopped with their newfound Cleveland Indians’ friends. When they were done shopping, everyone came back together to take even more pictures and to say final good byes.
Many of the Indians’ players gave more than just their time to our club members. They went one step further and gave them gifts, prizes, autographs, and lots of good advice for their future. For our club members, this shopping trip meant more than just getting new school clothes. This trip gave them an extra boost of confidence as the school year begins because they have a positive view of themselves. This trip helped them to form bonds with Indians’ players and gave them positive memories that they will never forget. This trip planted little seeds of hope that will help our members mature and reach their full potential.
Thank you to Macy’s, Levi’s, and especially the Cleveland Indians for making this event special for our members! Here are a few photos of the event.
