The Hamels Foundation just opened its retail store in Bryn Mawr.
Earlier this year Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels and his wife, Heidi Hamels, founders of the Hamels Foundation charity, opened the foundation's retail store in Bryn Mawr. Hamels is the cover story of the April issue of Main Line Today magazine. Here is an excerpt from the story: Cole Hamels is grinning from ear to ear as Jon Dorenbos joins him in front of photographers and TV crews before the Hamels Foundation’s Diamonds & Denim fundraiser at Center City’s Crystal Tea Room.
