Allgood Pest Solutions Night with the Gwinnett Braves

The Gwinnett Braves and Allgood Pest Solutions raised $7,425 for the Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research on Saturday, June 13 during the game against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees as fans were given the rare opportunity to win player’s jerseys right off their backs during a silent auction.
In addition to the auction, Rally Foundation hosted a bubblegum blowing contest prior to the game. For a small donation, fans of all ages went head to head with the Rally Bubble Megameter for the chance to win a Rally T-shirt and other prizes. All proceeds went directly to childhood cancer research.

Pre-game activities featured several Rally Kid cancer survivors including Russell Tindol, who threw the first pitch of the game. Following the first pitch, the Rally Kids Quartet featuring Ryder Ewing and her sisters Riley and Mackenzie sang the national anthem along with Jenna Rohrbach, sister of Rally Kid Alexa who passed away last year.
“Nothing could be worse for a parent to watch than to see their child go through the extensive treatments to remove cancer. Because of my nephew, Russell, our family knows these feelings, these pains,” Allgood partner Chuck Tindol said. “No childhood should be ended or even side-tracked by cancer. That’s why we partnered with the Gwinnett Braves to raise money for the Rally Foundation – to help cure childhood cancer.”

The Gwinnett Braves organization presented a check for $7,425, the amount collected during the silent auction, to representatives from the Rally Foundation and Allgood Pest Solutions at the end of the eighth ending.

Immediately following the game, winning bidders were escorted onto the field where Gwinnett Braves players autographed their jerseys and gave them to the winners.
“Rally is excited and honored to be a part of Allgood Pest Solutions night at the Gwinnett Braves game,” said Dean Crowe, founder and CEO of Rally Foundation. “This has been a great night for Gwinnett Braves fans and for Rally. Because of families like the Tindol’s and their willingness to support childhood cancer research, we are one step closer to finding a cure.”
