Down East Bird Dawgs News Release
KINSTON, N.C. - The Down East Bird Dawgs hosted a heartwarming community event on Saturday in partnership with RADD (Raising Awareness for the Developmentally Disabled) at Historic Grainger Stadium.
Players and coaches from the Bird Dawgs joined an inspiring group of boys and girls with developmental disabilities for a fun and inclusive baseball game. The event was designed to promote inclusion, raise awareness, and celebrate the abilities of every participant through America's favorite pastime.
The afternoon was packed with fun, from on-field activities and autograph sessions to photo ops and tasty snow cones. Following the game, the roar of engines filled the air as the Boneyard Hog Chapter showcased their motorcycles, giving everyone a chance to get up close and personal with the bikes.
"Events like these remind us that baseball is more than just a game; it's a powerful way to bring people together and celebrate the strength and spirit of every individual in our community." Down East Bird Dawgs General Manager Shari Massengill said, "We're proud to partner with RADD and create memories that will last a lifetime."
