On Friday, January 23, The American Pie Party hosted a “National
Pie Day” event at The Shamrock Club to raise money for cancer. This
organization has made it its mission to fight the disease and raise both funds
and awareness through humor.
Ron Greenbaum, The Basement Doctor, was on hand at this fun event,
to both throw and receive a pie to his face. Ron wasn’t the only member of The
Basement Doctor team there to support this cause. His pie came courtesy of Tom
Johnston, President and General Manager of The Basement Doctor. Tom’s first
attempt didn’t quite land on Greenbaum’s face, but he really got him on the
second try. Greenbaum retaliated by nominating Tom to take a pie from his
daughter Karen, a cancer survivor, and accounting manager Jack Witt, who recently lost a loved one to cancer.
The theme for the night was "Tag" and "Pie it Forward." The event was hosted by American Pie Party founder Tony Sobony, and included several members of the community including former Ohio State Buckeye
Jimmie Bell and State Representative
Michael Stinziano. Bell, now a motivational speaker, accepted two pies from Greenbaum. His mother Saundra Bell recently won her battle with cancer, making his involvement in the evening especially meaningful. Stinziano took his pie from a young volunteer.
