On Sunday, August 23 the Rays Wives hosted the inaugural "Clash of the Cleats" softball game. The Rays wives invited the Tampa Bay Buccaneer wives to Tropicana field for a friendly softball game. The game was put on to promote 1Voice and the Rays Baseball Foundation. The wives held a silent auction and sold t-shirts during the softball and Rays baseball game where all proceeds benefitted the two foundations. The softball game was supported by Mona Vie and Tiffany & Co.
The game was highlighted by homeruns from Michelle Burrell and Stephanie Renica but the game winning hit by Jennifer Hickey was the clincher for MVP of the game! The Rays wives took the lead in the bottom of the first but the Buccaneers jumped ahead during their at bat in the top of the second. The Rays came back to tie the game at five which is where the score was at the end of regulation. It only took one extra inning where the Rays had three hits to ultimately take home the trophy! Thanks to all who participated, the event was a success!

2009 Rays on the Runway GalleryThe 4th annual Rays on the Runway Fashion show hosted by the Rays Wives was held at Nordstrom on June 14. Guests enjoyed drinks, hors d'oeuvres, and mingling with the Rays players at this exclusive event. Then they watched as Rays players and wives strutted down the runway in the latest Nordstrom fashions. The fashion show highlighted 16-year-old Kalen Watson, of Tampa, who is battling a High Grade Glioma and is being treated at All Children's Hospital. Kalen who is affiliated with the Children's Dream Fund, loves fashion and modeling, being a part of the fashion show was a dream come true! The Rays are supporters of the Children's Dream Fund, and Fernando Perez was honored to escort Ms. Watson down the runway.
The event raised over $20,000 with the proceeds to benefit both the Children's Dream Fund and the Rays Baseball Foundation.
Rays Wives donated $3,000 to the Moyer Foundation to support Camp Erin in Tampa Bay. The mission of the Moyer Foundation is to help children in distress.
