Some big-name country music stars will play on the diamond and on stage this Sunday when the Hunter Worley Foundation hosts its first Celebrity Softball Jam at Park Properties Field off Cloud Springs Road.
“Come with your bat and glove, and play ball with your favorite celebrities,” foundation board member Gary Anderson said. “Fans will be selected from the crowd to join both celebrity teams in a game to benefit the Hunter Worley Foundation and families in need.”
The foundation was formed about 11 years ago, following the accidental death of 4-year-old Hunter, to provide a network of pastoral support, counseling and assistance for grieving families, Anderson said.
He said grief-stricken parents will ask “Why did this happen to me?” because the death of a child is unnatural.
“We all expect to bury parents, but no parent is ever prepared to bury their child,” Anderson said. “The foundation is dedicated to helping with the financial, spiritual, emotional and legal assistance in this greatest hour of need.”
