Eagles will raise money for cancer research April 18 against Buffalo
YPSILANTI, Mich. - The Eastern Michigan University softball team is proud to announce its “Knock Cancer Out of the Park” event, set for April 18 when the Eagles welcome the University at Buffalo to Varsity Field for a 2 p.m. contest.
Immediately following the game, the players will participate in a Home Run Derby to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Donations can be made for home runs per player, for the entire team or by a flat amount. During the contest, balls that will be used during the Home Run Derby can be decorated in honor anyone who has been affected by cancer with a donation of $10. EMU Softball will do its best to return the balls after the event.
During all of the 2009 home games, the Eagles will be selling Knock Cancer Out of the Park t-shirts ($10) and bracelets ($5), as well as auctioning off themed baskets that have been donated by EMU softball parents.
For more information, please contact assistant coach Eric Oakley at eoakley@emich.edu or 734.487.2274.
Thank You, Team 38
