Meridian was a Grand Slam sponsor
Meridian was a Grand Slam sponsor of the Aaron Rossman Big Bat Bopper Baseball event held at Pelham Memorial High School. The event proceeds benefited The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in Aaron's memory - he was 22 when he passed away from the disease this past November. Big Bat Bopper Baseball is a favorite Physical Education sport of many recent graduates and students alike. Players use a Cricket bat to hit a bouncing rubber ball and circle four bases positioned in the corners of the gymnasium twice before touching the pitcher’s mound to score a run. Teams consist of 12-16 players and games last 12-15 minutes. Raffles, auctions and other activities rounded out the day. Meridian was proud to sponsor the event, hopes that everyone enjoyed Big Bat as much as Aaron did and continues to hope for a cure.
