COMPLETES SUMMER
INTERNSHIP WITH A
“HOME RUN!”
Play Ball is a Major League Baseball initiative in cooperation with the Miami Marlins and the U.S. Conference of Mayors. It’s designed to promote healthy living habits through fitness and sports. The Town of Davie has joined by encouraging the youth of Davie to participate in base-ball by giving them the opportunity to be on a real field and learn baseball fundamentals through specialized skill stations. Jason, pictured above in the orange shirt, organized this year's Play Ball event which was
held on Tiger Field at Bamford Sports Complex and featured youth ages 5-13yrs old from the Sunshine Child Care Program. Special guests for the event in-cluded Miami Marlins Youth Co-ordinator Jason Ramos (teal shirt above) and Town of Davie Councilmember Caryl Hattan and Mayor Judy Paul (western hats to the right).
