This is the 7th year for the popular summer program in Everett.
The camp provides 200 participants the ability to increase their baseball and softball skills by rotating through multiple skill stations. Quick Ball and regular games will occur throughout the week to put all skills to work. Every ability level is welcomed.
Here’s a MyEverettNews.com image from the badges for baseball event in August of 2011.
To kick things off tomorrow Everett Police and local 7-Eleven Franchisees will team up to celebrate the Badges for Baseball Opening Day Ceremony. Badges for Baseball, one of three summer programs sponsored by the Everett Police Department, provides underprivileged youth access to extracurricular activities.
The Everett Police Department, including the Chief of Police will accompany participating Franchisees and Field Consultants at the ceremony as they present a check totaling $4,746 to the programs sponsored by the Everett Police Department including: Badges for Baseball, Junior Police Academy, and Casino Road Camp.
Franchisees will donate 160 cases of 7-Select water bottles and 160 boxes of 7-Select snacks for the event hosting 250 children and 70 volunteers.
The Everett Police Department is a current partner with 7-Eleven and Operation Chill, a program that allows police to interact with youth in a positive manner by “ticketing” them with free Slurpee coupons. Franchisees plan to strengthen the bond with the Everett Police Department and local youth through their support of Badges for Baseball.
While this year’s camp is full the public is invited to come take a look. The camp runs tomorrow through Friday from 8:30 AM- 2:30 PM at Kasch Park, 8811 Airport Road in south Everett.
