Home Plate Project Organizer Says Response Because of Rob Helped Raise Money

"Robert heard about us through his assistant Jeff. Jeff grew up with Cory Parsons, a key member of the Home Plate Project team.”

“Bids came in from all over. There was a worldwide response due to Robert Pattinson’s participation. It’s really what got us all the attention and helped us raise all this money.”

“The fact that a superstar like Robert Pattinson was willing to take the time to do a personal sketch is amazing.” 

“It took us from a good little project to something that raised over $ 50,000.”

"Emory said the actor was told when the bid hit $ 3000 and that today (9/1) his assistant texted Pattinson the final, stonker bid."
