Miscellaneous
In the series finale, episode #267 of the Stepping Up to the Plate podcast, Dan Clouser sits down again with his producer and guest host, Toni Reece to talk about the 30 year body of work and new direction of the foundation. They reflect on the lives that the organization has impacted over the years as well as the impact that the foundation is positioning itself for in the future. Still focusing on stressing to young people the importance of giving back, the foundation is taking its “Work Hard, Play Hard” program to a whole new level as it has now created “Community Service Scholarships” which will allow young people from all over the country and all walks of life to take advantage of the leadership skills and life lessons in which sports can teach them. Dan also announces the exciting news that Ultimate Events and Sports Management Company will be taking over the tournament and team operations for the foundation moving forward. As one chapter in Dan’s life is closing, another is just beginning. Dan and Toni announce that the premiere episode of Dan’s new podcast, “The Journey of my Mother’s Son” will be out shortly. The new series will tell the stories of the people that Dan and his wife, Sandy meet on their journey of traveling across the country in their RV. Some stories will still have a sports theme, others spiritual, some will be about music, some about food, some will talk travel, but all will be about the many little people, in many little places who are doing many little things to make the whole world change. Thank you for listening to “Stepping Up to the Plate” throughout the years and please tune into “The Journey of my Mother’s Son.”
