John has been on the board since 1995. He joined as soon as I called him out of the clear blue. He has made several appearances for us at major events and he has signed many items also. He is truly a member of our team and cares a great deal about the issue of hunger in America.

He has allowed us to use his name to promote our state wide basketball shooting contest and he was the main cog in our four year run of fund raising in Dallas. He helped us to bring in nearly a quarter of a million dollars for the North Texas Food Bank by influencing his teammates, his fans and others in Dallas. Michael has been an extremely valuable member of our team since day one.

Antonio has been a tremendous addition to our team and will be a great spokesman for us. He has signed items, donated items and promoted us at every opportunity.

Jerry has been a shining light to our organization since 1995. He has never hesitated to do whatever is necessary to help us “…wipe away the tears of hunger…” Mr. Kramer has made numerous appearances, influenced many former and current players to join our team and donate items and worked closely with us to formulate new ideas and new programs in order to bring about greater success in our battle against hunger. Jerry has been the real definition of an active board member ever since he first stepped in to our group. He has been a god-send to our cause.

Paul was a World Series MVP and ended up with over 3,000 hits in his career. Paul has been very helpful to Buckets for Hunger in the last four years since we contacted him. Paul will soon become an MVP for our organization. He has signed countless memorabilia items for Buckets and even came to Madison as a guest of honor in 2008 along with several other former Brewers from the 1982 World Series team. We are thrilled to have Paul as a part of our team.
