The Western Nebraska Community College softball and baseball teams will be holding a "Go to bat for Team Ashtyn" on Tuesday, April 26 at the Cleveland Field baseball and Volunteer Field softball fields, located on West 20th street in Scottsbluff, Neb.
The two Cougar teams will join forces from 4-7 p.m. as they help raise money for the Team Ashtyn Foundation. Participants, for a fee per event, can hit batting practice off the Cougar pitchers, shag balls in the outfield, and clock over- and underhand throws. There will be prizes for the longest hit, the shortest hit, fastest throw and the slowest throw. Hot dogs, chips and a drink will also be available for purchase.
All proceeds will benefit the Team Ashtyn Foundation, which was created in honor of pediatric cancer patients and their families. The Foundation was formed because of Ashtyn Schwartz, the daughter of Tory and Jennifer Schwartz of Gering, who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblast leukemia. The Foundation, today, has helped several families dealing with cancer.
The event was originally scheduled for Oct. 10, 2010, but was postponed because of inclement weather.
For more information on the event, or to call to donate to the Team Ashtyn Fundraiser, contact WNCC softball coach Maria Winn-Ratliff at winnm@wncc.net or 308-635-6198.
