St. Jude Charity Softball Game

Brad and I, along with several of our friends put together a softball game last Sat. against the WAMZ Country HAMZ. This is a team from the 97.5 WAMZ country radio station in Louisville. They schedule games and play to raise money for St. Jude Children's Hospital. Brad has wanted to do this for a while, so we finally got it all together this fall. We had several events going on throughout the afternoon and evening, including a cornhole tournament, face painting, and a large raffle of donated items. The game itself was later that night. We lost, but in our defense those guys were big. We had a great time and raised a lot of money to help kids!

This was our team shirts.

Chris, Lauren and I all played on the same team for the first time in our lives. That was really neat.

Of course, Kinsi had a great time. Cade came out and she got to play with her favorite cousin.


The bullhorn lasted in Brad's hand for about 20 minutes before someone took it away!

Cade got his face painted. Of course it had to be blue and have the UK thing on it!

Kinsi loves to play in the dirt! And of course, tease Uncle Chris!

Teaque came to help me take pictures, but we got of few of her and Cory too.

Our good friends, Keith and Dave competed against each other in the Cornhole Tournament.

Lisa is taking pictures of other people taking pictures.Up to bat! I think I walked this time.
Kinsi was so tired after all the playing, she didn't make it through the whole game.This is team that we gathered for this game and then us with the HAMZ.
We raised $1,170.50 for the hospital as well as being able to send a PS2 to the hospital. Pretty good for our first time. Our goal was a $1000, so we went well beyond that!
