The Father’s Group got their baseball on Saturday night at the Phillies game, compliments of the team and slugger Pat Burrell. They donated 16 tickets and 4 VIP parking passes to the Father’s Group. Seats were some of the best in the house — Pat Burrell’s suite, which he regularly offers for use by different organizations.
Sixteen special needs kids from The Arc and 10 fathers enjoyed the Phillies-Blue Jays match up. Unfortunately, the Fightin’s lost 6-3. But everyone still had a blast, enjoying the drinks and munchies right there in the suite, and watching the action on the field.
But the party didn’t kick into high gear until the Phanatic joined the group. We took some video of the fun and games, and put together a slideshow.
Also check out some other shots taken by one of the fathers in the group, Dan Samsel. He’s the Co-Chair and Communications Chair for the Father’s Group.
Thanks again to Pat Burrell and the Phillies for sharing a night of baseball with the kids and fathers! Go Phils!
