N.B. Beavers game to fundraise for KidSport program
An upcoming baseball game will turn into a fundraising event to help underprivileged kids play sports.
The North Battleford Beavers and the Wilkie Brewers will go head-to-head on Monday June 27 at 7.30 p.m., in a game dedicated to the Battlefords KidSport program. The organization raises money to put kids into organized sports, whose families otherwise couldn’t afford it.
Beavers coach Rory Gregoire said his team brought the idea to him last week and he put it together as quickly as he could.
“We think KidSport is a great organization. It’s something to try and get kids involved in baseball. It’s a good sport,” Gregoire said.
