To make this event a complete success, Lunch Break is asking community members, businesses and corporate sponsors to step up to the plate and join our Softball Challenge lineup. In addition to the softball challenge, we’re treating our wonderful neighbors to food, games and music — all in the name of fun and community fellowship. Are you ready to pitch in for Lunch Break?
