Baseball team dances with Pennybyrn residents _________________________________ The baseball team gets swept off their feet every year when they spend an evening dancing and socializing with residents of Pennybyrn at Maryfield, a local retirement community. For the fourth straight year, they attended the “Fall Ball” where they danced with female residents and took part in conversations with other residents as well.

Baseball players find inspiration at Miracle League ___________________________________
The perfect pumpkin patch ______________________________
Men’s Lacrosse runs for autism ______________________________
The Miracle League of High Point offers a unique padded and safe baseball field for children with disabilities to enjoy America’s favorite past time. The men’s baseball team found a special connection with these children over the last four years as they’ve volunteered to referee and play games with them.
The women’s lacrosse team helped Hickory Grove United Methodist Church set up a pumpkin patch and hosted the Great American Bake Sale, both of which raised money for the No Kid Hungry Foundation.
The men’s lacrosse team participated in the 2012 Greensboro Run for Autism. Proceeds from the event benefit the Triad Services Office and the Guilford County Chapter of the Autism Society of North Carolina, which provides support and promotes opportunities for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their families statewide.
