2. The Crosscutters hosted our 7th
annual Hot Stove League Dinner and
Auction in January, 2013, with
proceeds from the event going to
YWCA Northcentral PA. Guest
speakers from both the Phillies and
the Crosscutters marked the night,
including former Major Leaguers
Denny McLain and Tom O'Malley. The
night also featured a live and silent

proceeds and all money raised from
the auctions was donated to the
YWCA. In all, $4000 was raised.

3. For 17 seasons the Crosscutters have
been promoting the importance of
reading and education through the
Grand Slam Reading Program. Each
spring a member of the Cutters staff
and mascot Boomer visit local
elementary schools to promote
reading. The students are encouraged
to read, especially during the summer
months. Students who read 4 books
during the summer "win" two free
tickets to a Crosscutters game. One
lucky student was randomly drawn
from all participants as the Grand
Prize winner and received a new
laptop computer from Susquehanna
Computer Innovations. Again this year
nearly 30 schools participated, with
almost 10,000 students enrolled in
the program.

4. On June 29, the Crosscutters host a 5k

benefiting Veterans Memorial Park of
Williamsport. Through the auction,
over $3,200.00 was raised.

to that night's game for just $1. Over
1,000 pounds of food and 500 pounds
of clothing was collected and donated
to the Central PA Food Bank, The
American Rescue Workers, and The
Salvation Army, where it was
distributed to local families in need.

11. Throughout the season the
Crosscutters provided local charitable
organizations the opportunity to join
us at the ballpark and promote their
programs. This new initiative called
Charitable Tuesdays highlighted one
organization at each Tuesday game.
The organization was interviewed on-
field before the game, got to throw
out the ceremonial first pitch, and
was able to set up a table in our
concourse to distribute information to
Cutters’ fans. Six organizations
participated in this program.
Participating Organizations:
• Tiadaghton Forest Fire Fighters Association
• Sandy S. Eddinger Ovarian Cancer Foundation
• A.C.E.S.
• Lycoming County United Way
• Williamsport Independent Media
• PA Partner in the Arts Program
