The 11th annual Andrew Farrell Spirit of Courage Fund Home Run Derby will take place on Saturday, June 6, at George Washington High School, 10175 Bustleton Ave. Registration starts at 9:30 a.m., and the contest begins at 10. The cost is $25.
Proceeds go to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and to a scholarship for a Washington baseball player who best exemplifies Farrell’s zest for life, leadership skills, determination and courage.
Farrell died in 2004 at age 21 after a long battle with leukemia. He was a popular pitcher/first baseman on Washington’s 2001 baseball team. His №25 jersey was later retired.
The fund also raises money at an annual golf outing. To register or for more information, go to andrewfarrell.org ••
