CHICAGO — Want to be in the movies? It's not a starring role, but Cubs
fans can show their support for their team and the city of Chicago as
well as help others by adding their name to the closing credits of a
soon to be released documentary.
Fans can have their name or that of a loved one included in the
final credits of the upcoming documentary, "We Believe — Chicago and
its Cubs," to be released in spring 2009.
One half of all proceeds collected will go to two Cubs-related efforts.
The money will benefit Project 3000, an organization which Cubs first
baseman Derrek Lee helped create to find people affected with Leber
congenital amaurosis (LCA), a blinding eye disease. Money also will be
donated to the non-profit Little Cubs Field, a replica of Wrigley Field
scaled down to a kid-sized park located in Freeport, Ill.
This is believed to be the first time a film production has undertaken active viewer participation to support charities.
