“We are extremely excited to partner with the Augusta GreenJackets and Golden Harvest Food Bank for the 9th Annual “Line Drive Can Drive,” stated Complete Game Owner Matt Childers. “For nine consecutive years Tom Denlinger and his staff with the GreenJackets have sponsored and helped us host this event! This event is held in Memory of my father Terry Childers Sr. Myself along with my family and the staff at Complete Game are honored to give back to the community that my father loved so much. Giving back to the community with a FREE Baseball clinic while also organizing a food drive for our local food bank is our favorite time of the year! Terry Childers Sr. loved baseball and loved serving in this community. He was a board member on the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Augusta and we feel that this event is something wonderful to do in his memory.”
