Join an annual fundraiser Friday, May 16th at 5:30 p.m. at the Elementary School Baseball Fields;where more than 250 players, ages 5-15, take to the field to see how far they can hit and throw. Before the event, children will be collecting pledges from their friends, family and neighbors in hopes of winning individual and team prizes.

To add to the fun, the concessions stand will be open for dinner and both a dunk tank and speed gun will be at the field to test the pitching arms of anyone who wants to spend $1 for one ball or $5 for six balls. Team coaches, umpires, and other notable community members will be in the dunk tank.

For the past two years the event has raised $10-17,000 for the general fund, a portion of which is earmarked for a new batting cage at the elementary school.

All are encouraged to come enjoy the event. Bring the whole family!
