Softball Hit-A-Thon Set For Oct. 5
9/21/2017 1:29:00 PM | Softball
The University of Northern Iowa softball team will be hosting its annual Hit-A-Thon fundraiser Oct. 5.
The Hit-A-Thon will begin at 5:30 p.m. at the Robinson Dresser Complex in Cedar Falls.
The Panther softball student-athletes will again play a large part in determining the amount of money raised for the softball program.
During this year's Hit-A-Thon, each player will get pledges from individuals in the community and the players will have 10 swings to hit the ball as far as possible. The distance of the farthest ball hit is then multiplied by the amount of pledges. Flat donations will be accepted as well.
Last year, the Panthers raised more than $40,000 – surpassing their goal of $35,000.
"The fundraiser is both exciting and rewarding," UNI head coach Ryan Jacobs said. "The Hit-A-Thon brings awareness to the program in a fun way, and helps to support the team financially. Former assistant coach Matt Egger did a great job expanding this event into what it is today."
For questions or donations to the Hit-A-Thon, contact Coach Jacobs via email at ryan.jacobs@uni.edu. Â
