The LaGrange 10U Fall Baseball Travel Team brought a new message to the Little League field. This past weekend they were bringing Breast Cancer Awareness on the field with them. These boys wore pink socks and sweat bands while their coaches donned “Real Men Wear Pink” T-shirts raising both awareness and funds supporting the Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation. Many of these young men’s lives have been affected already by this insidious disease and they are determined to make a difference.

2012Orange County Little League Supports Miles of Hope
2012
We would like to send a special thanks to the Orange County Little League baseball organization!
Orange County Little League has chosen the Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation as their designated charity this spring.
“At all little league games, the group will sell Spirit cups which are plastic cups with sports teams logos on them; 4 cups for $15.00. For every order of the special “pink, breast cancer” cups, we are asking for $20.00 per order of 4 cups, with $5.00 going to Miles of Hope.” -Michael Colotti (father of a player)
Miles of Hope greatly appreciates this kind and generous contribution from the Orange County Little League!
“We are grateful and honored that Orange County Little League has chosen to raise money for us. Raising awareness and funds for support programs helps young people understand not only the impact of charity, but the force of good.”
- Miles of Hope Executive Director, Pari Forood
