Granite State Baseball Dinner virtually set for Nov. 21
MANCHESTER – The New Hampshire Fisher Cats (Toronto Blue Jays Double-A affiliate) will host a virtual edition of the Granite State Baseball Dinner at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 21 in a continued effort to raise funds for the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock and the Fisher Cats Foundation. Over $1.75 million has been donated as part of this event since 2007.
Presented by Northeast Delta Dental, the event will be broadcast on Facebook Live from the state-of-the-art studio at Events United in Derry. Events United has hosted a number of high-profile events despite the challenges of 2020.
A group of baseball celebrities will attend remotely and participate in the annual question and answer session, including Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen, Blue Jays coach John Schneider, and Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Oliver Drake.
Also, Red Sox greats Bernie Carbo, Oil Can Boyd, Luis Tiant and Dick Drago will also be on hand, along with two legends of women’s professional baseball: Lois Youngen and Sue Zipay. Viewers can submit questions in the Facebook Live comment section.
“We’re proud to continue the Granite State Baseball Dinner tradition, regardless of how many obstacles this year has thrown at us,” said Fisher Cats President Mike Ramshaw. “Supporting our community means everything to this organization, and we’re committed to raising funds for these worthy charities any way we can.”
Some of the ways to donate will be via an online auction at NHFisherCats.com as well as an online 50-50 raffle, plus dinner packages can be delivered via Celebrations Catering. There are other ways as well.
