The NRHEG baseball team’s Friday, April 26 home game has been designated a “Strike Out Cancer” game.
Pregame activities begin at 4:30 p.m., with the game following at 5 (pending the weather). There will be a short program with captains giving a short speech, captain Brad Claycomb and music teacher Mrs. Fredrickson singing the National Anthem, first pitches thrown out by Coach Jeff Reese, in memory of his sister, whose life was taken by cancer; Carley Kempe, cancer survivor and captain Casey Rosacker's mother; and Dacoda Malakowsky, NRHEG first-grader and cancer survivor.
The game will be announced and concessions will be available. A hot dog special and popcorn & pop special will be offered. Free will donations will be taken for the American Cancer Society. Students and the public can also make donations at school for the "Strike Out" Cancer Hall of Fame in honor or in memory of those who have been affected by cancer.
