Cole and Heidi Hamels held their annual Diamonds and Denim event last night to raise money for their charity, The Hamels Foundation, which supports inner city schools. All ticket sales will go toward Philadelphia school grants in order to help local schools receive equipment or materials they are lacking. All other proceeds raised by the event support their school in Malawi, Africa.

Most of the Phillies were there, including Hamels, Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Chase Utley, Hunter Pence, Ryan Howard, Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino, Roy Oswalt, Kyle Kendrick, Ruben Amaro, and the Phanatic. You can view the full gallery here… the shot of Ruben with the VIP lanyard around his neck might be my favorite pic. Ever.

All photos taken by Dan Bello, who was there covering the event for us.
