Giants Ace Matt Cain Visits the POH Kitchen!

June 30, 2009 on 3:56 pm | In Main Category | No Comments

Some of you may have heard the buzz that there was a Matt Cain sighting at Project Open Hand last week.  For those of you that are not sports fanatics, Matt is a starting pitcher for the San Francisco Giants.  

As the spokesperson for our upcoming Plate to Plate 5K event in August, he came in to film a TV commercial for Plate to Plate.  He spent most of his time in the kitchen and on the mid-day line.  His first scene took place peeling carrots with Plate to Plate’s two new interns Kari Scheidt and Sarah Hedayati. After reciting some lines for the commercial, Matt, and soon-to-be wife Chelsea, took to the line to help package our hot meals for the afternoon.

It was great to host both Matt & Chelsea at POH. They were so friendly and interested in Project Open Hand’s mission. They weren’t afraid to get their hands dirty and see what it was like to volunteer here.

For those of you that got to meet and/or be filmed volunteering with Matt, congratulations on your 15 minutes of fame!  For those of you that missed it, keep an eye out for this exciting commercial to be aired on Comcast Sports Net.
