A Desert Delight: 19th Annual UMPS CARE Charities Golf Classic
Jan 27th, 2025
Our team descended on the desert attending the 19th UMPS CARE Charities Annual Golf Classic in Phoenix, Arizona. Staffers Ty Unthank and Brandon Lawson fielded a team with none other than Umplife Owner/Creator Ray Brownlie and Umpire Mark M. Dyer Sr.
Hearing the stories and chatting with MLB umpires at this event was such an enjoyment. We checked in with pros like #84 John Libka and #119 Brock Ballou.
After becoming the official footwear of MLB umpires, there was only one choice for this years charity live-auction item. These authenticated Mizuno Pro Wave Umpire Plate Shoes was loaded up with MLB umpire signatures and brought in $600 for the charity!
Thank you UMPS CARE Charities for all you work to make this event wonderful each year!
