Local parents are invited to enjoy some holiday shopping time and support a good cause when two of Northern Essex Community College’s sports teams—the men’s baseball team and the women’s basketball team—hold a Kid’s “Knight” Out on Saturday, Dec. 17 from 5 to 9 p.m. in the Sport and Fitness Center on the Haverhill campus, 100 Elliott St.
For $25 per child, parents can drop off their children ages 6 to 12 at the center where the members of the college’s Knights sports teams, under the direction of NECC Baseball Coach Chris Shanahan, will create an evening of fun and games.
The concession stand will be open so children can purchase snacks as well.
All proceeds will help support the NECC Baseball Team’s spring training in Maryland. The team was first in the state last year.
Parents are encouraged to sign up in advance by contacting Northern Essex Community College Athletic Director Sue MacAvoy at smacavoy@necc.mass.edu or call 978-556-3820. Spaces are limited.
