YMCA Night at the Ballpark with the Kingsport Axmen: A Night of Community, Baseball, and Giving Back!

The Kingsport Family YMCA and the Kingsport Axmen are thrilled to announce their upcoming joint event, "YMCA Night at the Ballpark," which will take place on Friday, July 28, at 7:00 pm at Hunter Wright Stadium as the Kingsport Axmen take on the Bluefield Ridge Runners. This year's event promises to be bigger and better than ever before, with a strong emphasis on community engagement and philanthropy.

In a remarkable collaboration, the Kingsport Axmen have partnered with the Kingsport Family YMCA for a unique initiative. Throughout the year, the players and staff of the Kingsport Axmen have volunteered in the YMCA Feeding Kitchen, dedicating their time to prepare and pack snacks and meals for the children in the YMCA Summer Camp programs. Additionally, they have played games and even taught tee-ball to the little ones in the Mini Explorers program, creating unforgettable moments for the young participants.

"We are immensely grateful for the continued support the Kingsport Axmen have shown over the years," said Jonathan Albarado, Director of Marketing Strategies of the Kingsport Family YMCA. "Their commitment to our community and their selfless contributions to our outreach programs have been truly inspiring. We are excited to come together for YMCA Night at the Ballpark and cheer on the players as they take the field."

The Kingsport Family YMCA invites the entire community to join in this spectacular event. By attending the game, you not only get to enjoy a thrilling baseball match but also play a part in making a difference in the lives of young individuals who benefit from the YMCA's programs. Let's fill the stadium with our support and enthusiasm, creating an unforgettable experience for the players and all attendees alike!

As part of the special evening, a very special individual will be honored to throw the first pitch, adding a heartwarming touch to the event. Following the game, brace yourself for a dazzling fireworks show that will light up the night sky with colors and joy.

YMCA Members can pick up two complimentary game tickets per household at the YMCA Front Desk, while supplies last. For the wider community, tickets are available for purchase online at the Kingsport Axmen website.

Don't miss this opportunity to unite as a community, celebrate the spirit of giving, and enjoy a fantastic baseball game! Be a part of "YMCA Night at the Ballpark" on Friday, July 28, and let's make this evening one to remember!
