Fundraiser to benefit Rams’ baseball program scheduled for May
10
GILROY – On May 10, the Baseball Buddies from Gavilan College will be sponsoring a home run derby to benefit the Gavilan College baseball team.
The event will take place on the baseball field at Gavilan from approximately 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information and flyers, please contact Danielle Rhinehart at (408) 847-4452.
The Baseball Buddies consists of Gavilan students from Denise Besson-Silva’s Communication class. Each spring semester, Ms. Besson-Silva gives her class an assignment to do something for the community. It’s up to them to decide what and how to do it.
This year, the group decided that they would like to sponsor a home run derby very similar to what you see on All-Star Day at the major league level. All proceeds generated will be donated to the baseball team to purchase needed batting cage nets and a new wind screen for the outfield fence.
The group will solicit the help of those in the community to come out that day and give it their best shot to put one over the fence.
Last year’s class of students raised more than $650 for a need television and vcr for the Physical Education Department here on campus.
