The Fifth Annual Baseball Haven Foundation Baseball and Softball Toy Drive Clinic is going on 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at Tiger Town, Joker Marchant Stadium. And some big-time players will be in attendance.
Hosted by Andrew Davino Baseball and the Lakeland Flying Tigers, this clinic is designed for all baseball and softball players ages 4-14 who want to receive instructional training while giving back to the community. The cost of the camp is an unwrapped toy for a boy or a girl ages 3-16 years old.
Coaches instructing the kids will be the following: Andrew Davino, Ryan Harbin (Pittsburgh Pirates), Carlos Sierra (Houston Astros), Sawyer Hawks (Arizona Diamondbacks), Lester Oliveros (Minnesota Twins), Oscar Allende (Carolina Gigantes), Jose Veiga (University of South Florida), Jamie Walczack (Cincinnati Reds), Freddie Stenson (Chicago Bears), Easton Browne, among others.
According to a press release, every child who attends the clinic will go home with swag bags filled with goodies, and there will be raffles featuring autographed jerseys, bats, balls, and many other items. Special event shirts will be distributed to the children at the start of the clinic, too.
Additionally, the clinic will have Santas Village, a photo booth with Santa, DJ LYM, bouncy houses, and other interactive booths from Travel Ball Church, Dugout Mugs, and Top 100 Prospects.
Here is the following event schedule: event registration (9 a.m. to 10 a.m.); opening remarks, opening prayer, national anthem, color guard, first pitch by city commissioner Guy Lalonde, and group picture (10 a.m.); group stations (10:30 a.m.); tour of the facilities (12:30 p.m.); closing remarks, raffles, and swag bag giveaways (12:45 p.m.); and pictures and autograph signings with professionals and coaches (1 p.m.).
