Belmont Softball is Going Red Wednesday

On Wednesday, Belmont High School Softball team will become the "Big Red Machine," all towards the goal of greater awareness of heart disease on women.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, May 1, at the team's home game against Wilmington, the Belmont Varsity Softball will play its "Go Red" game to bring more awareness to heart disease and stroke and to add to our "Hits for Heart" Campaign for the American Heart Association. 

Each year the softball program raises money for a charity and this year it is the American Heart Association.

The varsity team will be wearing red shirts and welcome anyone to come down and wear a red shirt and make a donation to support our cause.  

Throughout the month of April, the school's softball teams has been participating in a "Hits for Heart" campaign where the players have been obtaining sponsors to make pledges per team hit or make a flat donation with all proceeds being donated to the Heart Association.  

To cap off our "Hits for Heart" campaign, the teams will be hosting a school-wide "Homerun Derby" contest on Wednesday, May 22 at 3:30 p.m. at the Softball field across from the Belmont Public Library. Students and faculty will sign up in teams and compete for the coveted title of the 2013 "Homerun Derby" Champions.

Teams will pay a $5 per player entry fee with all proceeds being donated to the Association.
