I certainly hope every family enjoys this day. It’s a great day for the Grand Ledge Community and Grand Ledge Youth Baseball. The Bat‐a‐thon Home Run Derby is the biggest fundraiser of the year for our program. All funds are committed to field improvement projects and allows us to keep as many kids playing baseball as possible. The All‐Star events are great fun for the players and the fans. We have some great prize giveaways for our winning teams as well as some great sponsors. I hope your player is as excited as we are for this event! Thank you!
