Incredible new Add-on! Attend a Yankess game with Walter Koenig!
almost 2 years ago – Sat, Apr 20, 2024 at 08:48:37 AM

Walter Koenig will be attending the New York Yankees game on Tuesday, August 20th versus the Cleveland Guardians.  And, he's invited YOU to attend with him!



We have reserved a small group of field level seats near the Yankees dugout for this game! 

Walter grew up in New York City and spent many an afternoon watching the likes of Joe DiMaggio, Phil Rizzuto, Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle.  Now YOU can sit with Walter during the game and hear all his fascinating stories about the team, living in New York and probably some tidbits about Star Trek as well!

What's included:
  • Field level ticket to the game, Tuesday August 20th, 7:05 pm
  • MLB baseball autographed by Walter
  • Your picture taken with Walter (w/ your own phone/camera)

**Transportation and lodging not included*

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!  You don't want to miss it!

WE DID IT!

Another sincere thank you to the over 165 people who have pledged to our campaign!  We are over $27,000 at this point.  That's over 75% funded.

But we want to meet and exceed our minimum goal as quickly as we can so we can get started doing all the pre-production and production tasks to get the pilot before the cameras!  This includes the novel rights, script, location scouting, artwork and graphics, storyboards, casting, auditions, etc. 

Please help spread the word.  Tell everyone you know about us (and maybe some people you don't know!)

Thank you again for your incredible support!
