CUTLINE: Donned in orange blouses, Virginia and Abby Orzell pose with their mother, MaryAnn, just before the start of the July 11 Rock Cats game against the Trenton Thunder. The Litchfield women, members of the National MS Society, came out in support of the fight against multiple sclerosis, a disease MaryAnn battles. The National MS Society, Connecticut Chapter, was recognized at the game as host of the team’s Social Media Night. In June, Rock Cats Facebook fans were asked to vote for a favorite charity among three featured. Fans voted the National MS Society, Connecticut Chapter as charity of choice, which then helped host Social Media Night at the Rock Cats stadium in New Britain. For every guest attending the July 11 game, $1 was donated to the National MS Society, Connecticut Chapter. More than 4,000 people attended the July 11 game. The Rock Cats are donating $1,532 to the National MS Society, Connecticut Chapter. The Orzells are longtime supporters of the National MS Society, captaining a Walk MS fundraising team, Ginny’s Crew, and participating in the chapter’s annual MS Action Day activities. Virginia and Abby are 2008 recipients of the Hayley and Michaela Petit Youth Award. For a schedule of upcoming games, visit www.rockcats.com.
