Save the date! The 2013 Play Ball is scheduled for Friday, September 20.
More than 600 guests joined the fun at the 2012 Play Ball on Friday, September 21 and helped to raise more than $100,000 to benefit the education and outreach programs of The Strong.
Guests noshed on kid-inspired cuisine and adult-approved beverages. The amazing Pogo Dudes kept things hopping while the Midnight Ramblers serenaded the crowd. Mr. Potato Head and Dora the Explorer greeted guests throughout the night and everyone’s favorite plumbers, Mario and Luigi, kept the tunes spinning until the very end.
Sincere thanks to honorary co-chairs Zeke and Jane Duda, the more than 40 sponsors (listed below) , dozens of donors, and hundreds of guests for making the 2012 Play Ball a night to remember!
