Washington Nationals’ all-star shortstop Ian Desmond was a major part of the team that returned playoff baseball to the District of Columbia for the first time in 79 years. Now, he is joining Prison Fellowship and Angel Tree to make sure that the children of incarcerated parents aren’t forgotten.
On his twitter feed over the weekend, Desmond announced that he had selected Angel Tree as one of three charities to be supported by his “Spread the Glove” campaign. Proceeds from the sales of “Spread the Glove” merchandise will be distributed between the three chosen charities.
Prison Fellowship thanks Mr. Desmond for his support of Angel Tree and his concern for families with a parent behind bars. If you are still looking for Christmas gifts, check out www.iandesmond20.com to see what is available. (Or grab a sweatshirt for yourself!)
