Cybernautic CEO Chad Parker to Throw Ceremonial First Pitch at Wrigley Field for Bloomington-Normal Day in Support of the Twin Cities’ Sister Cities Program.  

Normal, IL  (June 22, 2011) – Cybernautic President and CEO, Chad Parker, will throw the ceremonial first pitch at Wrigley Field on August 6, 2011, for Bloomington-Normal Day as the Chicago Cubs face the Cincinnati Reds.
 
The Bloomington-Normal Sister Cities program and WJBC AM 1230 provided the opportunity to throw the ceremonial first pitch. The Parker family has supported the Sister Cities program dating back to 1991, with the construction of the first American built home in Russia.
 
“I’m thrilled and honored to be throwing the first pitch for Bloomington-Normal Day and to be supporting the Bloomington-Normal Sister Cities program” said Parker. “This is the chance of a lifetime. I’ve wanted to throw the first pitch at a Chicago Cubs game since I was a little kid.”
 
WJBC AM 1230 provided the platform for the fundraiser benefiting the Sister Cities program on July 19, 2011. Listeners were asked to call in their bid for four terrace reserve tickets and the opportunity to throw the first pitch. Parker’s pledge of $1,000 is support resulted in the winning bid.

About Sister Cities

The Sister Cities program was originally conceived as part of President Eisenhower’s People to People program. The affiliation between Bloomington and Asahikawa, Japan came about through the personal efforts of Alvin Keller.

 
On April 7, 1980, the Normal Town Council accepted an invitation to officially join Bloomington as a sister city to Asahikawa, formalizing a relationship that had, in fact, existed for years. The people of Asahikawa had already come to know Bloomington-Normal as one community. For more information about Sister Cities, visit its website at www.bnsistercities.org.
