On Saturday, May 30th, the mascot will give high-fives and hugs at the Annual Stroll for Strong at Genesee Valley Park. Kids and their parents can meet the Knighthawks mascot from 8:00 to 8:30 a.m.
On Sunday, he will attend one of his favorite events of the spring. R. Thunder will fly out to the Muddy's Buddies Lacrosse Tournament at 3:00 p.m. The sixth annual charity youth lacrosse tournament features girl's teams in three age groups.
