The Hempfield High School baseball team will hold a First Pitch event on Saturday, March 18, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The event will take place in the cafeteria of the high school, 200 Stanley Ave., Landisville, and the doors will open at 5 p.m. Community members are invited to attend.

During the event, the 2022 baseball team members and staff will be introduced. Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to place bids in a blind auction that will run throughout the first hour of the program. Items up for bids have been donated by local businesses and families; items include sports memorabilia, tickets to entertainment events, auto detailing, and a hot air balloon ride. Many other prize baskets and items will also be available in a drawing.

An admission fee will be charged for adults, and youths will be admitted free of charge when accompanied by a paying adult. Hot dogs, soft pretzels, chips, desserts, and soft drinks will be available for all attendees at no additional cost.

Those who attend are asked to bring a jar of peanut butter for the Power Packs Project. The nonprofit organization provides food to children and families in the Hempfield School District who have financial need. Each person who brings a jar of peanut butter will be given three free giveaway drawing tickets.

The First Pitch event is hosted by the Hempfield Baseball Booster Club. Proceeds from the event will help to support the baseball program.
