Rebel Softball To Host Kids Day
4/5/2010 | Softball
OXFORD, Miss. - The Ole Miss Rebel softball team will host "Kids Take Over The Ballpark Day" on April 25 at 1 p.m. to support the Le Bonhuer Children's Hospital in Memphis. Children aged 5-12 are encouraged to sign up for a variety of jobs at the ballpark and to bring donations for the children of Le Bonheur aged infant to adolescent.
Kids will fill a variety of jobs during the Rebels' game versus the Auburn Tigers. Positions include bat boy or girl, cheerleader, field crew, public address, water manager and many more.
Volunteers will be honored before the game and will join the Rebels on the field for the national anthem. They will also receive an autographed team photo and free Papa John's pizza after the game. The Rebels will also hold a skills clinic following the game, so volunteers should bring a glove.
Donations sought for Le Bonheur include blankets, car seats and rattles for infants, blocks, crayons, puzzles and stuffed animals for preschool aged, action figures, books, dolls and games for school aged children and diaries, magazines, and video games for adolescents. All donated items should be new and unopened due to health concerns and will be used for birthday and holiday parties or in bedside and recreation areas.
For more information or to sign up for a "Kids Take Over The Ballpark" position please contact Connie Braseth in Rebel Sports Marketing at 662-915-7554 or cbraseth@olemiss.edu.
