25 club members and 25 Ems Baseball players take 25 disadvantaged
children on a $100 back to school shopping spree. Kidspree is
a hands-on event with the kids and the Ems players. The Ems team
is our primary sponsor for this project with proceeds from their
Junior Ems Club program. Thanks Ems! We also thank Target who hosts
the project and also typically donates some money to help a few
additional families. On the morning of the project, club members
get to shop with the kids and Ems Players for back to school clothes
and supplies. What a great way to give kids self-confidence on that
first day of school.
