There’s a special treat coming up in Richmond for golfers and lovers of the Cincinnati Reds. A veteran pitcher and the speediest young player in Major League Baseball will take part on Monday, May 12, in the annual Wernle Coaches for Kids golf event. Golfers will have the opportunity to meet pitcher Mat Latos and rookie outfielder Billy Hamilton during the event at Forest Hills Country Club.
To sign up as sponsor or a team, contact Marci or Jodi at Wernle by calling (765) 939-4575 or by contacting: development@wernle.org. Individual golfers can sign up, too.
The event also will include an auction that will feature lots of sports-related memorabilia. Latos has won 14 games in each of the last two seasons, while Hamilton is considered one of the speediest players ever in the game.
The annual event is one of the top fund-raisers each year for the Wernle Youth & Family Treatment Center. Wernle has served children of need in Richmond and the region for 135 years. It can house, treat, supervise and educate 75 young men at one time. A girls program is starting soon on a campus that has expanded with new and renovated buildings.
