CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - The Kannapolis Cannon Ballers are gearing up for their highly anticipated Bark in the Park Night on Wednesday, September 2, with the first pitch scheduled for 7:00 PM. Thanks to sponsor Davidson Heating & Air, dog owners can score two free tickets to the game (while supplies last), and the community is invited to bring their favorite four-legged friends out to Atrium Health Ballpark to enjoy the action alongside the team’s beloved bat dog, Kasey Betty.
However, this special night is about much more than baseball and belly rubs. Davidson Heating & Air is using the sponsorship to quietly make a difference for local animal lovers by paying up to $1,000 toward a local family’s veterinary bill. They are also searching for an “unsung animal hero” in the community to throw out the ceremonial first pitch.
If you know a deserving family facing a heavy vet bill, or a dedicated local animal advocate who deserves recognition, submit your nominations at davhvac.com/community and help celebrate those who do so much for our pets.
