Challenger Baseball
Can you help for two hours?
Saturday, May 17
10:00 am to 12:00 noon Tilles Park
CRC’s Year of Living Responsibly is sponsoring a morning to be baseball buddies. Challenger Baseball is a baseball league for kids and young adults with disabilities. They need buddies (ages 10-20) to help them on the field. The buddies are usually paired with a player and help them field balls, support them while running, etc. In this league there are no runs and no outs.
This is our second year of participation and the kids last year had a great time. RSVP to Amy Gage by May 3 at amygage@stanford alumni.org. Snacks and drinks provided.

CRC's Year of Living Responsibility program provides monthly service activities geared to CRC families and friends. The goal of YOLR is to involve children at a young age in acts of Tzedakah.
Our projects have been varied and geared to the interests of our members and the mission of CRC. Some of our past projects have included:
-
Visiting residents of a nearby nursing home
-
Preparing and serving meals at the Trinity Episcopal Soup Kitchen
-
Baking desserts for the CRC Mitzvah Corps
-
Making stuffed animals at Build-a-Bear Workshop for patients at Children's Hospital
-
Serving breakfast at Ronald McDonald House
YOLR is expanding to include activities geared toward youth in all age groups.
This summer, our middle schoolers will volunteer in monthly Tzedakah projects, including taking inventory of items for the August Back-to-School Store and holding a bake sale for Darfur.
To sign up to receive information about future YOLR projects, please contact Jen Bersdale, Director of Advocacy and Communications, at jennifer@centralreform.org or (314) 361-1564 ext. 116.
