Bringing Hope Home at the Yard
On Saturday, September 29, the Phillies teamed up with Bringing Hope Home to make sure 15 local families battling cancer were treated to some “unexpected amazingness” at Citizens Bank Park.
Not only did the ballpark gates open early just for the families, but all were treated to an exclusive party in The Yard with special guests and surprises.
The Families enjoyed all of The Yard attractions, which included WIFFLE ball, Bullpen Speed Pitch, Phanatic Climbing Wall and the Hatfield Franks Hot Dog Launcher. Plus, food was provided by Chickie’s and Pete’s.
