On Tuesday, September 10, 2024, Community Living Wallaceburg’s Wallaceburg Wolves Baseball Team will take on Team Select Finishing for their end-of-season Aaron VanDorsselaer Grand Slam.
Despite interruptions from both heat and rain this year, the Wolves showed up week after week to enjoy fun games of baseball, take turns hitting the ball, running bases, practicing their skills, and building camaraderie, Community Living Wallaceburg officials say.
Courageously stepping in to face The Wolves in this end-of-season game are the employees and administration of Select Finishing Ltd.
In memory of her late husband Aaron, Rachel Van Dorsselaer will be throwing out the first pitch, and CKXS’s morning show host Tanner will be commentating on the game.
Immediately following the game, thanks to their sponsors, Select Finishing Ltd. will host a barbecue.
“Select Finishing continues to be significant supporters of the great work of Community Living Wallaceburg, and our team couldn’t be happier to be both playing in the Grand Slam and supporting the BBQ,” stated Tracey Jardine, Accounting Manager at Select Finishing, in a press release.
“There is no comparison to the excitement when a Wolf rounds the bases after a big hit, and the thrill spreads to everyone – players and spectators alike,” stated Clay Scott, Manager of Community Participation & Family Supports for CLW and one of the team coaches, in a media release.
“No matter who you are, everyone is welcome in the wolf pack.”
Members of the public are invited to come out to “howl” on The Wolves and Team Select Finishing and to enjoy a time of fellowship at the barbecue.
Community Living Wallaceburg and The Wolves also want to give a shout-out to the Wallaceburg Sports Hall of Fame for their sponsorship of the 2024 season.
Community Living Wallaceburg co-creates, designs, and delivers supports that empower people to overcome barriers and live the life they choose. With the support of those around them, people can dream, believe, overcome, and achieve.
