The 2025 Lock Haven softball season is underway and it’s time to once again – “Knock MS Out of the Park” with the Bald Eagles.
 
With the new season underway, the team has embarked on its quest to Knock MS Out of the Park. 
 
This marks Lock Haven’s 19th year working with the National MS Society in the battle against MS. Over the last eighteen years that the Bald Eagles have worked with this fundraiser, the team has raised approximately $48,000. Last year’s team was able to raise just over $2,000 for this worthy cause. This year’s team hopes to equal last year’s fundraising efforts. The team is once again asking for donors to assist in this cause. As a donor, you can choose to pledge a dollar amount per home run hit by Lock Haven, or you can opt to pledge a flat donation. 
 
All proceeds from this event directly benefit the National MS Society.  Step up to the plate with us to help fight this disease! 
 
MS & its special significance to Lock Haven Softball:
Former Lock Haven head coach and alumna, Kim Lindsey (formerly Hasson) was diagnosed with MS in 1993.  Kim was a member of the 1988 NCAA DII National Championship runner-up squad. She then coached the Bald Eagles from 1990-1999. Many of you may know Kim as she has been on campus since 1985 and recently retired from her position as Lock Haven Athletics’ Equipment Manager.
 
Knock MS Out of the Park Game:
On Friday, April 4, the Lock Haven softball team will be hosting its annual Knock MS Out of the Park Day (Games) when the Bald Eagles host Shippensburg at 2 p.m. on Lawrence Field.  
 
How will my donation help?
Participation in this program goes a long way to help eliminate MS and better the lives of those already affected.  MS is a disease that affects the central nervous system and approximately 1-million Americans have been diagnosed with MS in the United States.  Contributions raised from the Knock MS out of the Park program will directly benefit the National MS Society. 
 
Lock Haven Softball is proud to Knock MS out of the Park, and we hope you will join our team in this important cause!
 
Please find a pledge form (attached here) for you to join in our fight against MS.  We will be accepting donations through May 31.  All checks should be made payable to the National MS Society.
