HomeTrust Bank teamed up with the Tourists to provide $100 per home run (hit by the All Star players) and $200 per home run by the special heavy hitter (hit by former Colorado Rockies and Atlanta Braves slugger, Vinny Castilla) – all to go to one of HomeTrust Bank’s community passions – education.

Children First Executive Director Allison Jordan was on hand to receive the $4,000 donation from HomeTrust! The funds will be used to help fund the transportation costs for the organizations’ summer program. With assistance from Community supporters, Children First provides a true ‘summer camp’ experience for the youth that includes activities such as attending a Minor League Baseball game, rafting, zip lining, hiking and horseback riding in the Blue Ridge Mountains as well as much more!

Most importantly, the kids had a blast out on the ball field and it was a great evening for baseball!
