Join A Pod of Their Own for a Dollars For Dingers meetup and raffle on September 21

Since we launched Dollars For Dingers at the start of the month, the response has been amazin’: Mets fans have already pledged over $400 for the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

To up the ante, we’re hosting a Dollars For Dingers meetup and raffle at Mikkeller Brewery on Saturday, September 21 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. There will be prizes ranging from Mets gear to bobbleheads to books, with a few Big Deal pieces of memorabilia to be announced soon. And every penny will go to help the NDVH!

There are no tickets to the event itself, but if you’re planning to attend, it will really help us organize if you RSVP on the Facebook event page here. You can also RSVP by leaving a comment on this post.

We’ll have updates over the next couple of weeks, including how you can participate in the raffle if you can’t attend the meetup. Be sure to make your Dollars for Dingers pledge on our handy tracker and follow A Pod of Their Own on Twitter to count up every Mets homer as it rakes in the donations.

And remember: There’s no crying in podcasting!
