Special Kids to Star in Softball Game

The Crown Heights Softball League has once again teamed up with The Friendship Circle to organize an unforgettable event. The fun starts this Sunday at noon in Lefferts Park with free pizza and refreshing drinks, to be enjoyed in the stands while watching the final minutes of a heated softball game.

However, that is only the beginning of the fun-in-the-sun that is sure to be a most memorable day.

Following the game—which should include a few base hits, a couple of pop-ups, and hopefully, with the right amount of cheering from the sidelines, a number of home runs—the Friendship Circle children will have the opportunity to join our neighborhood’s star players on the field to meet, sign autographs, and play some ball.

It’s not every day that these children have the opportunity to man a base or swing a bat with residents of celebrity status.

A limited supply of team jerseys will be distributed by David Roitblat of Better Accounting Solutions, so get there while supplies last.

The dedicated volunteers and staff of The Friendship Circle work hard to create a caring and supportive community for children and teens with special needs right here in Brooklyn. It is the hope of all of those involved that this collaborative affair be an enjoyable one for the entire neighborhood.
