2nd Annual Celebration of Women's Sports

• Olympic Softball Pitcher Monica Abbott will conduct a
pitching clinic for 80 youth from across the state.
• Area coaches will also provide a catcher’s clinic so catchers
can get extra work when they are not needed for the
pitching clinic.
• All pitching and catching participants will receive a softball
donated by Scheels.
• D-BAT West Wichita will host a hitting clinic for girls who want to participate in the
event but are not pitchers or catchers.
• There will also be food trucks, an inflatable, games and vendors.
• At 6 p.m., KAKE-TV Anchor Deb Farris will emcee the
speaking portion of the event. She will thank the
sponsors and introduce Chelsey Mathias from Baird
Private Wealth Management to speak for a few minutes.
Following that, Monica will speak to the crowd for around
30 minutes and then take questions from the audience.
• Monica will have merchandise for sale and will be
available for autographs and pictures after her speech.
• A raffle will be held to raise funds to create a scholarship program so cost isn’t a
barrier for girls who want to play sports.
