FRIDAY HARBOR BASEBALL & SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION HIT-A-THON
at 5:30 p.m. at the Elementary School Baseball Fields.
Join us for our third annual fundraiser which benefits more than 250 children ages 5-15 and provides a great evening's entertainment for the whole family. The concession stand will be open for dinner and snacks. Both a speed gun and dunk tank will be open to test your throwing arm.
Players have garnered pledges from friends and family and will combine the distance from their longest throw and hit and multiply it by their pledge per foot to see who can raise the most money for the event. With announcers to call out who's up next, the evening moves quickly as boys and girls from t-ball through junior baseball and major softball show their talent.
The monies raised from concessions, pledges and the speed gun and dunk tank are added to the general fund and some is set aside for a new batting cage at the fields. Over the last two years more than $17,000 has been raised at this event.
