NH Healthy Families and Fisher Cats Mark Decade of Charity Partnership

The donation, handed over by NH Healthy Families President and CEO Gerri Vaughan, bolsters the YMCA's ongoing efforts to provide youth development, camp scholarships, and family support across the state. This financial injection arrives as part of a long-standing partnership that leverages the popularity of professional baseball to fund local social programs.

Beyond the check presentation, the event saw a visible display of community engagement when attendees, including YMCA members, donned foam moose antlers distributed by the health plan's staff. Michele Sheppard, head of The Granite YMCA, noted that the consistent support from both the healthcare provider and the baseball club remains vital for expanding the reach of the organization's regional services. Fisher Cats General Manager Taylor Fisher echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that the team prioritizes its community-centered role alongside its performance on the field.
