bert Gigliotti started Team Theresa in 2003 when his mom Theresa passed away from cancer in March 2003. That August, 9, 2003 he started his first softball benefit in her memory. It started out as mess around games, we raised $2,000 and it went to Susan G. Komen until Albert said I want the money we raise to go to something for kids since my mom loved kids. So one day Albert saw Oprah and on Oprah was Alex Scott he called me up and said thats it next years benefit all the proceeds go to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation to help the fight against pediatric cancer. He said Alex reminded him of his mom, had a heart of gold but just a different age. So we wrote a letter to Alex's Foundation and a volunteer at the time Alicia responded back and in August 2004 our 2nd softball benefit we raised $2,600 and gave it to Alex's Foundation, unfortunately right before our benefit Alex passed away so we do what we do hoping one day to find a cure for kids with cancer, they are our future. Since then we have became close with Alex's family and consider them part of our family. Over the years we have held numerous benefits and events throughout the years and were recently honored in January 2012 as Volunteers of the Year by Alex's Lemonade Stand and was advised we had raised over $65,000 thru the years donating our funds to ALSF. to date we have raised over $200,000.00 to help fight childhood cancer. We couldnt do it without the help of the entire Team Theresa and all our supporters helping us fight this deadly disease. So the honor was truely ours and accepted on behalf of everyone who has been part of Team Theresa. The legacy that Alex has left is truely inspirational and lives on thru all of us. Every year we continue to hold the softball benefits in memory of Theresa and Alex too. We urge anyone and everyone to get involved, it is truely a family fun filled day, Music, clowns, face painting, free games for the kids, softball playing, raffles, live bands and so much more. In years past we had appearances from Phillies Star Greg "The Bull" Luzinski, Philadelphia Flyers Star Bob "The Hound" Kelly, Philadelphia Soul Players and mascot as well as the Phillies Phanatic. Along with many characters, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Winnie the Pooh and the Cat in the hat, Elsa and a Minion! DJ Eric Bartello spinning the tunes and Philly Avengers and Central PA Avengers.
