    The team

    Trenton, NJ - New Jersey publisher, Franklin Mason Press is always looking for great stories, ways to give back, and occasions to provide opportunities. That was the inspiration behind their Guest Young Author and Illustrator contest which reserves two pages in every book to publish children’s work. It was also the reason they form corporate alliances with children’s charities and donate a portion of all book sales to these organizations. Their latest homerun, A Glove of Their Own, however, is their grandest endeavor to date.

    With the help of All-American dad and Coach, Bob Salomon, A Glove of Their Own, written by Debbie Moldovan, Keri Conkling, and Lisa Funari-Willever will not only benefit one charity, but numerous charities and has received the support of All-Stars such as Rawlings, Louisville Slugger and Modell’s. Inspired by a birthday party held for one of Moldovan’s children, A Glove of Their Own exemplifies the very essence of giving back. Unlike most birthday celebrations, this party requested donations of baseball equipment in lieu of gifts. That equipment, donated to children who normally do without, will impact more than the children who actually received it. Thanks to this soon-to-be-released book, children all over the world will benefit from awareness and an international call to action.

    This story is not only about teamwork, it is the result of unmatched teamwork. Acclaimed author, Funari-Willever worked with talented new authors, Moldovan and Conkling to bring the story to market. Bob Salomon, coach, husband, and proud father created a grass roots campaign to raise awareness that has blossomed into a movement and eventually led to the creation of Danjulie Associates. This movement involves professional players, including Craig Biggio, Sean Casey, Jack Hannahan, and Rob Quinlan, who were moved by the book’s heartwarming message. It also benefits wonderful organizations such as Good Sports, Sports Gift, Pitch in For Baseball, Make-A-Wish, Cheerful Givers, and the Sunshine Foundation.

    Franklin Mason Press senior partner, Linda Funari, has been delighted with the results of such teamwork. “It has been an honor to work with such caring and generous individuals. The authors and Mr. Salomon have shared this story with many organizations and individuals who have happily offered their time and talent to propel the message and ultimately put equipment and books in the hands of children. This is just the beginning.”
