Spring is in the air and it is time for outdoor activities, spring cleaning, baseball games and the fourth annual Take Me Out To The Ball Game fundraiser benefiting The Arc of Opportunity! For the fourth consecutive year the Fitchburg and Montachusett Area Rotary Clubs partner to hold this event that benefits The Arc’s Recreation and Family Support program. The event is held this year on Friday, April 29th at 6PM at The Arc in the Vocational Work area that is turned into a replica of Fenway Park featuring the “Green Monster” where we will be keeping score of the live game being played between the Rex Sox and the Yankees and many other themed touches.
Attendees of this event really get into the spirit from all of the baseball amenities offered for the low entry price of only ten dollars per person. Your ticket gets you entered into a raffle to win a big screen TV, play baseball themed games, participate in the beer tasting hosted by local breweries, and enjoy the baseball game food and popcorn. There is a live DJ at the event playing your favorites, hosting the “Sweet Caroline” sing-a-long and announcing the score from the live game going on between the Red Sox and the Yankees. There is a live auction at the event as well hosted by Rick Clouthier where you can get a chance bid on some of the baseball memorabilia that is featured. A cash bar at the event is also featured where you can get a cold beer or wine to go with that hot dog a chili you just got.
While this event might be held at The Arc it is a Rotary Fundraiser and only possible by the hard work, dedication and partnership of the Montachusett Area and Fitchburg Rotary Clubs. Rotarian's from both clubs volunteer their time to organize the event, solicit donations of food, services, and items, sell tickets, get sponsors, make decorations and set up for the event. Rotarian's also staff the event serving food, selling tickets at the door, hosting the games and raffles and just making sure everyone has a great evening. So come to the event and bring your friends and while you are there meet some of the Rotarians who make this possible and meet many of the people that it benefits in our Recreation and Family Support programs. See you there!
