    Friday night May 15th, the Lake Norman Wildcats will play their first playoff game in an effort to help Strike Out Cancer. The team will be wearing special jerseys that will be auctioned off to the crowd after the game. All proceeds from the jersey auction will go to the 24 Hours of Booty organization of Charlotte NC. You can get more details about the event and the organization at the following web site.

    Passions

    Thanks! Everything that we do is for the boys. I don't know any other way. I will do the same for my youngest son with whatever he does: baseball, band, etc.

    I have only have a few passions in life: my family (supporting anything my boys do), baseball (at any level), and helping beat cancer. After losing my Mother to cancer 6 years ago a friend at work invited me to ride in the 3rd annual 24 Hours of Booty and I have ridden in every one since. It is a great organization and more importantly a great deal of the money raised goes to cancer support organizations right here in the Charlotte area!
