2nd Annual Diakon Adoption and Foster Care Night with the Harrisburg Senators
What: Minor league baseball game Matching Event
Where: Metro Bank Park on City Island in Harrisburg
When: Thursday, August 19, 2010
This event will be held in partnership with Project STAR and Bethanna and will feature extensive media coverage, Vals Kids tapings, an All-U-Can-Eat Picnic, a matching event for waiting families, County CYS and SWAN affiliate providers, and attendance by youth in our network for whom a Senators player will play for during the game. Approximately 20 youth within the SWAN network will attend this event and will have the opportunity to mingle with waiting families in a safe, secure atmosphere which will allow them to be stars for the evening but also allow them to be in an anxiety-free environment. A lucky youth will sing the national anthem and another will throw out the first pitch. Waiting youth will be featured on a scoreboard/Jumbotron that is 55 feet in size and the Matching Event will take place on the boardwalk that surrounds the entire baseball field. Videos of waiting youth will also be highlighted during the event with contact information for Diakon Adoption and Foster Care, the SWAN Helpline and the www.adoptpakids.org website. Waiting youth will participate in games and activities throughout the evening.
Additional information about registering your waiting youth, agency or families will be forthcoming. Tickets will be provided to waiting families (2 maximum), youth and their escorts and affiliate and county representatives who attend the matching event. Additional tickets may be purchased for other attendees.
If you are interested in reserving a spot for your waiting youth now, e-mail Elisa Esh, Diakon Adoption and Foster Care, at eshe@diakon.org. Space is limited.
If you have any questions regarding the event, please contact Jennifer Bircher, Diakon Adoption and Foster Care at 717-795-0361 or by e-mail at bircherj@diakon.org.
