| THANK YOU WKMG LOCAL 6 | | |
Celebrating 30 years of friendship, softball and fun!
WKMG Local News has challenged our STOP participants to a game of softball, leaving the Altamonte All-Stars as victorious champions every year. On Saturday, May 12, 2012 the All-Stars won their 30th game in a row!
This game started off at Westmonte Park and eventually moved to the Miracle League in Orlando. Just a few years ago, the game was brought to Eastmonte Park where we played with home court advantage on the newly constructed adaptive Buddy Ball Field.
This year's celebration was extra special and the photos are a great testimony of the joy and happiness shared! Visit our Facebook Page to see all the great photos!
Thank you to WKMG for their ongoing support. Food was donated by Publix, McDonalds and Blue Bell Ice-cream. Commemorative hats and shirts were provided by Dan Newlin. |
