Those interested can still sign up, even up until the day of the event. Extra shirts were ordered and will be given on a first come first served basis. Also, those who did not do a Facebook fundraiser or those who collected monetary donations in addition to their Facebook fundraiser can bring any cash or check donations the day of the event and we will add it to get your total number of swings.

For derby participants, a bullseye target will be placed beyond the fence. Sluggers who can hit the banner will win $100.00 courtesy of Signs By Sam.

Thank you all so much for your overwhelming participation in this event! We are very excited, and it seems like it’s going to be a wonderful day of HOPE at the Ball Fields.
