The 9YO Shades Mountain Black All Star team has taken on a project “KNOCK CANCER OUT OF THE BALL PARK.” The team is collecting sunscreen and chapstick for the pediatric cancer patient’s
at Children’s Hospital.  They started about four weeks ago or maybe longer and
have had good success thus far.

The Bucs are having a fundraiser tonight at Beef O Brady’s in Hoover at the new Target Center on 150 and I459. If you can come out and support the boy’s fundraiser, feel free. The restaurant is donating 15% of the total receipts collected between 5 – 8pm tonight. The money will go to buy sunscreen and chapstick.  The team’s goal is to fill up a pick up truck full of sunscreen and chapstick.
