📣📣📣We are so excited to announce that we raised 💲🔟,0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣to send to Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore Maryland for Sturge Weber Research‼️

We couldn’t do this without ALL of the amazing support we receive year after year! ❤️

🏈🏈 Thank you so much to the teams that signed up and spent the day flag pulling and scoring touch downs! We know it was hot and we hope y’all had a blast getting back out on the field! Congrats to the Champs-Finalist-MVPs! Another post coming later to recognize those teams

📢📢📢Silent Auction- we raised over $4000 from our silent auction! It was over flowing with over 90 items donated ranging from gift cards, bags and coolers, plants, pies/cakes, and baseball cards (donated by some pretty awesome boys)! We are so thankful for those that donated and of course our bidders! Another post coming soon to thank all who helped make it such a great success!
