"All of the things that we are rewarding the kids with are things that we in the business take for granted," said Nate Cloutier, Lake Monsters General Manager. "Things like throwing out a first pitch or getting up close and personal with the team, may not mean much to some of us, but these are experiencesthat can change the lives of kids and create lifelong memories. We are trying to create an association with being rewarded for doing the right things. We are thrilled to have found a partner in Northwestern Medical Center, who believes in the same values that we do."

"Northwestern Medical Center is pleased to team up with the Vermont Lake Monsters to celebrate kids' efforts to be healthy and encourage families to adopt healthier lifestyles," said Jill Berry Bowen, NMC's Chief Executive Officer. "By improving health in Vermont, we all win."
