Charity Softball Games

HCC vs. STCC

HCC employees recently challenged our sister community college, STCC, to a lively and fun game of softball. HCC's team, Bill's Bombers, raised $600 which has been given to the winner, STCC's Warm Heart's Fund.

The Warm Heart's Fund is a charitable fund utlizedat STCC to help students who are in critical need of financial support. The game proved to be extremely exciting and a lot of fun. Besides talent from over 30 HCC employees on the playing field, we had boisterous cheerleaders leading the crowd into some team spirited cheers. The game didn't end in our favor, however, HCC certainly had more than enough team spirit!

Next up: Our sister college to the north, Gcc, has agreed to a softball challenge. Date TBA.
