One out of 11 children will lose a parent or sibling by the age of 18. This is 38,000 children, enough to fill Steinbrenner Field three times. By the age of 25, the number doubles. “I need to be a role model for my little brothers, a dad figure since he is not here.” This sentiment was shared by Raul, a Circle of Love Camper who lost his dad to a drunk driver when he was only 13 years old. Now at the age of 19, he feels the absence of a father figure even more and does all he can to help fill those shows for his two little brothers. Raul will be sharing his story on video at Home Runs this year. It is one you don’t want to miss. We thank our 2024 Home Runs for Hospice Presenting Sponsor Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC, our Power Hitting Sponsors PAR, Inc. and Regions Bank and our Grand Slam Sponsors, Besnard Insurance Besnard Insurance, Crosstown Couriers, Shepherd Insurance and Zenith Insurance Company (United States).
