5/2 Dempster 3rd annual Casino night May 9
One week from tonight, the third annual Casino Night will be held at the Palmer House Hilton Chicago to raise money for the Ryan & Jenny Dempster Foundation. The event includes a live auction, and among the items to bid on is a baseball autographed by Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, which was donated by Steve Sutherland of Naperville, Ill. Last year, Sutherland donated a ball autographed by Ruth which sold for $21,000.
“I figured we had to top that,” Sutherland said.
He had never met Dempster before donating the baseballs to the foundation.
“I can do this or [the ball] can sit in my house,” Sutherland said. “It can do much more for them.”
