White Sox Player Visits District 15 Junior High

Chicago White Sox third baseman Joe Crede congratulated students at Walter R. Sundling Junior High School during a visit to the school on May 12 in recognition of the school’s outstanding fund-raising efforts for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Sundling has been the top fund-raising school in the state in the “Pennies for Patients” drive for the past six years.

In a live broadcast from Sundling’s video studio, Crede congratulated students on their outstanding accomplishment and fielded student questions about the life of a professional ballplayer. Crede then met with teacher Andrea Turley’s section, which raised the highest amount of money, and student council representatives and executive board to sign autographs. Each student received a White Sox calendar and a coupon for a free ticket for any game of their choice.

All students are on our Student Council executive board.
