Courage Center Announces 'Twins Swing for Courage' Fundraiser Presented by Dairy Queen and the Minnesota Twins

MINNEAPOLIS, April 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Twins Swing for Courage (TS4C) is an exciting new fundraiser that combines the love of America's favorite past time and the opportunity to donate to a highly respected community nonprofit ... Courage Center!

Search for your favorite Minnesota Twins player and make a pledge based on his on-field performance between April 5 and July 31, 2010.  For example, if you pick Joe Mauer as your favorite player, then select a hitting unit (i.e. single, double, home run) as your pledge base. Every successful at-bat by Joe increases your donation to Courage Center! For more information on how to play, click on How to Play TS4C.
