Scenes from Kisses for Kyle ¡®Go Gold¡¯ Fashion Show
Children from Kisses for Kyle struck a pose as they made their way around the bases with Phillies Wives, players and coaches at a fun-filled ¡®Go Gold¡¯ Fashion Show in the Yard before Saturday¡¯s game against the Mets.
The special event was held in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and gave children and their siblings the chance to take a break from treatment while they took center stage to model Phillies sportswear.
High-fiving them along the way were special guests including Michele Thomson (manager Rob Thomson¡¯s wife) and Sharon Snyder, founder of Kisses for Kyle, which assists families in the Delaware region who are battling childhood cancer and named in memory of Sharon¡¯s son, Kyle, who passed away from cancer in 1998.
Also taking part were emcee and Phillies¡¯ ambassador Scott Palmer and ¡°DJ¡± Jon Joaquin, who brought the dance tunes for the Phillie Phanatic, Phillies Ballgirls and fellow Phillies Ambassadors¡¯ Mickey Morandini, Dickie Noles and Milt Thompson. Citizens Ballpark Bankers and Kourage, the Kisses for Kyle mascot were all there, too, making sure these terrific kids and their families had a great day at the ballpark.
