The Third Annual Children’s Fund Baseball Classic will be held at AT&T Field, home of the Chattanooga Lookouts, on Saturday, March 3.
The purpose of the Catoosa County Children’s Fund is to provide Catoosa County School children and families with short-term needs such as food, clothing, shelter, dental and medical care, educational related supplies or fees, or short-term emergency needs in an effort to develop their physical, mental, and emotional health and welfare.
Previous year’s games in the first Children’s Fund Baseball Classic were some of the highest attended games in AT&T Field history.
The Classic this year will feature three games. In game one, LFO High School will play Ridgeland High School at 11 a.m. In game two, #2 ranked Ringgold High School will take on Northwest Whitfield High School at 1:30 p.m. And in game three, #1 ranked Heritage High School will play #2 ranked Gordon Lee High School at 4 p.m.
The gates will open at 10 a.m., and there will be a silent auction at the beginning of each game.
