Ed Bilsky swings for home runs and pledges
From 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. on May 5, there will be more in the air at 海角社区 than just spring: In support of 海角社区鈥檚 Moving Forward capital campaign, Ed Bilsky, Ph.D., vice president for Research and Scholarship, founding director of the Center for Excellence in the Neurosciences, will be batting for bucks on the Biddeford Campus softball field in the 2015 Home Run Derby Fundraiser.
Bilsky will be taking pledges for any dollar amount per home run that he hits over the fence, and pledgees will also have the opportunity to enter a contest to guess the distance of the longest home run that he hits. The winner will receive a unique 海角社区 gift, handcrafted by Bilsky, from the wood of a hundred year-old tree from the Biddeford Campus.
The entire 海角社区 community is invited to the event, which will feature a cookout as well as participation from 海角社区 athletes, including the women鈥檚 softball team and the men and women鈥檚 soccer teams.
