Much Obliged

On Saturday, July 21, almost 100 Kinship Partners were treated to a very fun night at the Brainerd Blue Thunder baseball game. Charter Communications and Charter Media, along with the Brainerd Blue Thunder Baseball Organization, once again sponsored "Kinship Night" at the Blue Thunder's game that night. They provided free tickets to the game and dinner for every Kinship Partner who came. They also arranged for one of our partnerships to throw out the first pitch, and let 4 of our junior partners enjoy being the bat boys and girls during the game as well. The smiles on everyone's faces showed how much fun they had, and how much they appreciated the opportunity to attend the game. Thank you Charter Communications, Charter Media, and Brainerd Blue Thunder for giving our partners this very fun opportunity! Most of all, thank you for your continuing support of the mission of Kinship Partners.
