Little League Hitting Challenge
This is a fundraiser organized by Monkton Little League. It's the second year it has been run, and it's open to all Little League baseball and softball players. Proceeds benefit Mount Abe Little League in general, and the town the player resides in. In other words, our Lincoln players would be raising money for Lincoln Little League too! It is really a fun day for the kids, so please consider coming by and/or supporting a local Little Leaguer. Below is the copied and pasted text (without formatting) for more information. Here is a link to the webpage: https://charity.pledgeit.org/c/CffDOKMcd2
Finally, if you don't have your own Little Leaguer to support, consider supporting mine. He won his division last year! Here's his page: https://charity.pledgeit.org/f/F2Io6YoGeN Be forewarned. His homepage picture is darned cute!
