Valspar Day at Wrigley Field 9/3/09

Valspar, the 2009 official paint of Wrigley Field, is sending Chicago sports fan, Brendan Cavanaugh, to the mound at Wrigley Field. Cavanaugh won the once in a lifetime opportunity to throw out the ceremonial first pitch in a raffle. He will take the field on Valspar Day, September 3rd, before the Cubs play cross-town rivals, the Chicago White Sox. Valspar also is making a donation to Chicagoland Habitat for Humanity in Cavanaugh’s name during an on-field check presentation with Sam Fuld, left fielder for the Chicago Cubs. The donation will help fund community home building projects.

In addition to the on-field activities, Valspar is hosting a number of free pre-game festivities for children and adults. Outside of the stadium, fans can test their arm strength at the Radar Speed Pitch, enjoy signature concessions, and paint signs supporting the Chicago Cubs, using Valspar’s limited edition Wrigley Field paint colors – Pinstripe Blue, Ivy Green and Marquee Red. Once inside the stadium, the first 10,000 attendees will receive free Cubs t-shirts and all are welcome to take batting practice at the Wii station next to Gate D. Valspar also will be collecting donations for Chicagoland Habitat for Humanity throughout the day, inside and outside of the stadium.
