Pod-Cast: The Start of July

It was yet another busy BTF weekend, including media events and Equipment Day collections!  

On Friday evening, Executive Director Cathy Bradley was at Marlins Park to present Equipment Day checks to the Marlins grant recipients, City of Miami Parks & Recreation and Miami-Dade County Parks & Recreation and a third to past BTF grant recipient, Miramar PAL. It was also BTF’s first trip to the new ballpark!

The Marlins and Braves Equipment Days began the next day before their home games.  

Also that Friday evening, at another field lighting ceremony at Jaycee Park in Owatonna, MN, BTF Senior Grant Coordinator, Meghan Chisholm, was attending a celebration. The Owatonna Huskies Bullpen was awarded a more than $45,000 BTF grant for the installation of Musco Lights on its youth baseball facility. The newly installed lights will increase player participation and availability to more than 500 players in the area. BTF’s Executive Director, Cathy Bradley stated, “field availability is often a challenge for many youth baseball and softball programs, and we believe that the lights will provide additional opportunities for play.”

It was another celebration filled with community supporters, sponsors and donors and clearly lots of smiles.

Here’s hoping that everyone has a wonderful holiday and check the BTF Facebook and Twitter pages for upcoming All-Star Game updates and insights.

Happy 4^th of July!
