Welcome to Bat-a-thon® 2007

Bat-a-Thon®, our annual fundraiser and hitting tournament took place on Saturday, May 19. This year 36 teams participated in our best event ever!  

Our Special Grand Prize Winner... The Grand Prize winner of the autographed bat of All-Star Boston Red Sox outfielder Manny Ramirez is Darren Bolduc of the Major American Angels. Darren raised over 300 sponsor points!

The 1st Place Runner-up for Sponsor Points was Lucas White, Majors American Athletics (285 points). The 2nd Place Runner-up for Sponsor Points was Zach McIntyre, Majors American Red Sox (230 points).

Last year we instituted a new award called the Commissioners Trophy Award. It was awarded to Parker Hill and Nathan Vellayan for Bat-a-Thon Lifetime Achievement. Both boys have raised over 1,700 sponsor points during the years that they have participated in our program. That is over $9,000 raised by each player! Outstanding!!

All organizations and individuals who donate $100 or more will be listed on this page as an official HOYB Bat-a-thon sponsor. Sponsors get a link to their website and phone number listed (if desired). Check out the Bat-a-thon 2006 archived page to view last years sponsors and winners.
