Background

On November 22, 1994, my Mom died of cancer. In honor of my Mom, in honor of your Mom and your Dad and family members and friends who have died of cancer, and most important, in honor of those who have now survived cancer, we present Scoreboard Charities. Some day in the future, we’ll have a not for profit sports memorabilia museum.   Some day in the future, we will do sports art events and athlete signing events. The future is now and we have a new eBay page (HeinztaxScoreboardCharities) and pop-up store in Clarendon Hills in the summer. That’s the passion of sports memorabilia collecting that I hope will produce funds for charity. In the meantime, we have now had the pleasure of presenting eight wine party events (previously called Wine Women & Shoes but now called UNCORKED, “Pull a Cork for Cancer”) and four bourbon events (Meet Me in Manhattan, An Old Fashioned Way to Beat Cancer) that have generated over $2,000,000 for cancer research and camps for kids with cancer. Our ninth wine event, UNCORKED 2025, “Pull A Cork For Cancer” will continue to drive our 2025 fundraising goal to $300,000 and our overall goal to $3,000,000. 

Mission Statement

Scoreboard Charities began as a nonprofit organization to honor those who not only lost a battle with cancer, but more importantly in honor of individuals who survived the disease. The goal of Scoreboard Charities—a 501c3 charitable foundation— is to win the game against cancer. The foundation is dedicated to raising funds for cancer research. In addition, Scoreboard Charities funds camping opportunities for children fighting the disease. Scoreboard Charities wants to see a cure for cancer in this lifetime, and therefore strives to aide cancer fighting efforts for this to be possible.
