Earlier this month, the Newport Gulls and University Orthopedics helped make Opening Night at Cardines Field extra special.
Nine-year-old Tomorrow Fund child Brayden and his family were invited to celebrate an incredible milestone—one year cancer-free after completing chemotherapy. Surrounded by family, friends, and fans, Brayden took the mound and threw out the ceremonial first pitch to kick off the season.
Moments like these remind us that every milestone matters and every victory deserves to be celebrated.
Thank you to the Newport Gulls and University Orthopedics for recognizing Brayden's strength and resilience and for creating a memory his family will never forget. 💙⚾
