OAK LAWN BASEBALL/SOFTBALL SET TO BRING COMMUNITY TOGETHER

When the Oak Lawn Community High School baseball and softball programs were thinking of ways to raise funds for their respective programs, many thoughts ran across the board. However, the two teams kept coming back to one idea – uniting staff, parents and alumni. The result is the Spartan Baseball and Softball Spring Bash.

The two teams are coming together to throw one big event. On Friday, April 24, they will host a 21 years and older live music event at 115 Bourbon Street in Merrionette Park (3359 W. 115th St.). For just $35, the night includes food, open bar, and live music being performed by FNMC (Friday Night Music Club), which features Oak Lawn English teacher Billy Denton as the lead singer.

This idea is to bring all stakeholders from the Oak Lawn Community High School area together to celebrate, reconnect and have fun. There will also be 50-50 raffles held.

Pass the word, bring some friends, and help raise money for a couple of athletic programs. The night is sure to be filled with laughs and good times. For more information, contact head baseball coach Bill Gerny at wgerny@olchs.org or head softball coach Brian Frangella at bfrangella@olchs.org.
