15U Girls Black Give Back to the Community

While most we’re bustling getting ready for Christmas or enjoying some Christmas socializing, the 15U Tigers spent their Friday evening helping out the StuffIn Stocking project. The amazing crew that runs this charity helps bring joy to many people from babies to seniors. They provided over 2100 stockings last year and expect to do over 2500 this year! Many great companies support the charity to make sure it can all happens but the amount of work required to organize, stuff and deliver all those stockings couldn’t happen without lots of help. Our girls were happy to jump in and stuff lots of good stuff into the stockings to help out just a little bit. 

Merry Christmas from the 15U Girls Black team!
