HOMERUNS FOR THE HOMELESS

Ripken Stadium was host to the 2012 HOMERUNS FOR THE HOMELESS to benefit the Harford Family House in Bel Air, MD. Designed in lieu of a golf tournament, HOMERUNS FOR THE HOMELESS raises funds to further the mission of the Harford Family House. The Harford Family House is the largest provider of transitional housing for homeless families with children in Harford County. Businesses sponsored teams of four for this event. Each team member received 15 "at bats" and the team with the longest yardage was declared the winner. I spent the day along with my good friend Laurena Bell, Mrs. Maryland United States, fielding balls as each team took their turn attempting to hit homeruns. There were several, and I was impressed! This event ranks high on my list of favorite activities/appearances. I will take chasing balls over a more traditional role at an event any day!
