Astros Spouse Group Fundraising Gala Terminated Because ‘Astros Wives Group Don't Has Any Wives With It’.

This will have been the 24th Black Tie and Baseball Lids Gala in Houston, a meeting put on by a Astros Wives Group for a benefit for the Houston Women's Target. I say would get, because the Astros have canceled the expensive vacation event this year.

The team's reasoning to your cancellation is hard to be able to argue with, actually. Because of Culture Map Houston:

"There was no event canceled because there seems to be no event planned since wives group no longer had any wives in buying it, " [Astros senior vice director of community relations Meg] Vaillancourt said. "This change is no a reflection on the value of the Women's Center. We really respect and appreciate precisely what the Women's Center does. "

I'm sure usually there are some wives on the roster, however , when you're rebuilding by means of youth, your team's wives group is naturally visiting suffer. Couldn't they ensure it is a WAGs Gala?

Some are certainly not pleased with this change of events — a few Astros blogs have perhaps even gone dark today in protest in the cancellation. The Black Scarves and Baseball Caps Gala elevated $250, 000 for the women's center not too long ago, and one year — when ever Erica Bagwell was your chair — raised $400, 000.

[Judy] Nichols actually offers 4 years left on 5-year deal she finalized with Astros Wives group (a 501-3C) to get results on Gala. Nichols: "It's especially significant. The wives, most of them are gone, they're just very hurt because they were all very pleased with this event. "

But Astros owner Henry Crane has vowed to produce up the difference, and some, saying that he's going to raise $18 million for the foundation. The Black Ties and Baseball Gala provides raised about $4 , 000, 000 over 23 years.

Lang Whitaker Link game, 14-14, and six turnovers for Indy. They may beat themselves if they will keep this up. #AmexNBA

Neil Perfect Roy Hibbert is only Pacers starter with not a turnover, and there 's still 3: 28 left in first quarter.

James Herbert yay! RT @kpelton: The nicest thing I often say about these Pacers turnovers is that at least many of them are of the dead-ball variety.

Zach Harper Concur RT @YourManDevine: All over again: Side screen-and-rolls, getting Hibbert moving out of the lane. Those things could help you.

John Schuhmann 6 turnovers with regard to IND already. They remain the best team at passing the ball using bounds. #KNICKSvPACERS
