Simsbury Community Gets Field Time

Residents of Simsbury’s Ojakian Commons pose for a picture with members of the New Britain Bees baseball team after throwing out the ceremonial first pitches at MS Awareness Night.

MS Community Day is organized by the National MS Society, Connecticut Chapter, and is generously funded by the Hayley’s Hope and Michaela’s Miracle MS Memorial Fund. The day featured a barbecue before the Bees took on the York Revolution. The night was also deemed ‘MS Awareness Night’ by the Bees, with National MS Society signage decorating the stadium, all Bees staff donning MS volunteer t-shirts, National MS Society constituents throwing out the first pitch with an orange baseball, and promoting the Chapter’s next big fundraiser, the 2016 Bike MS Praxair Off The Chain Ride.
