The Catawba College baseball team has partnered with the VS. Cancer Foundation to help the battle against childhood cancer. The team has been raising money for the foundation with the monies raised being split evenly between the Levine Children’s Hospital and a local hospital.
Those who would like to support this cause with the baseball team can donate online.
On Saturday, April 19, following the doubleheader with Carson-Newman at approximately 6 p.m., the Catawba team will shave their heads as visual support for an end to childhood cancer. Please help support baseball’s effort by attending the doubleheader and/or donating to the cause.
