'Summer of
Baseball' Helps Raise Money for Local Schools
November 9, 2005
Kingsport, Tenn. -- The Kingsport Convention and Visitor's
Bureau (KCVB) presented a check today for over $50,000 to local
schools that have hosted national sporting events including AAU,
USSSA and NAIA throughout the past year.
"Returning the proceeds to the schools would not be possible
without the support of our many great partners, especially our
presenting partners like First Tennessee Bank, Hardee's of the
Tri-Cities and Hertz," said Neville Charlton, chairman of the
KCVB.
This year's amount pushes the total of amateur sports event
funds donated back to the local athletic programs to more than
$700,000.
"Supporting amateur athletic events has proven to be a good
partnership for Hardee's of the Tri-Cities," said Jim Lutyens,
vice president of operations and facilities. "Hardee's was
pleased to provide Kingsport and the Tri-Cities region with
'Hardee's Summer of Baseball.' " |
