Our Club members were stepping up to the plate at the Annual Rockies Clinic! Over 200 kids from Clubs across Metro Denver learned new skills, practiced with the pros, and got to meet Dinger! ⚾🧢 The Colorado Rockies have been an instrumental community partner for over three decades – providing countless opportunities for our Club members to experience baseball and sportsmanship – and investing over $3 million in our programs. Last year, they reinstated their 15-year-long Clubhouse Sponsorship of the J. Churchill Owen Boys & Girls Club, ensuring we can serve more kids in the Westwood neighborhood for another five years! Thank you, Colorado Rockies for an incredible kick-off to our summer season!
