AUTISM AWARENESS!
Autism should not prevent anyone from enjoying America's favorite pastime. So the Greater Harrisburg Area Chapter of the Autism Society of America, is sponsoring "A Day at the Ball Park" for our families.
On Saturday, July 25, 2009, there will be an outing at Metro Bank Park, home of the Harrisburg Senators from 5:30 to 9:30pm.
During the outing, kids on the spectrum and siblings can play wiffle ball before the game and run the bases afterwards.
The first 60 people to register will get their $10 for the ticket and food refunded when they arrive for the outing. The next 40 people who register will get their $4 for the food refunded when they attend. Folks on a special diet will be able to bring in their special foods. As part of the day, you'll have access to all of the activities that are part of City Island, including the miniature golf course, inflatables, arcade , and carousel.
ASA-Harrisburg will be the featured organization at the game, and appear on the brand new state of the art Video Board being unveiled this season. And the players will be wearing specially designed puzzle piece baseball caps -- to be auctioned off with proceeds to benefit ASA-Harrisburg!
Tickets are limited so be sure to sign up soon. The deadline to register is June 30th. Just click on the button below.
You can also purchase tickets for any Senators game by clicking here and a portion of all ticket sales will go the ASA Chapter!
