Summary
A charity baseball game at Boki 10 brought police and firefighters together to raise funds for swim scholarships for people with special needs, organizers said.
Police and firefighters played a charity baseball game at the Boki 10 diamond to raise money for a swimming program for people with special needs, organizers said. The event aimed to create scholarships to help participants, including those with autism, learn to swim.
Organizers described the game as a community-building activity that also raised funds. “Lo más importante es la cultura que creamos en esa ciudad, de poder trabajar juntos,” a speaker said, adding that the funds would support people with special needs to learn to swim. The event included food sales and attracted families and children, and organizers said they hope to make it an annual fundraiser.
The transcript records thanks to Councilman Jesús Fundidor, identified by an event speaker as one of the organizers. Players on the teams had practiced for several weeks ahead of the game, according to a participant quoted in the remarks. No formal government action, motions, or votes were recorded in the transcript.
Organizers emphasized cooperation between public safety agencies and community members and said proceeds will go toward a scholarship program specifically for people with special needs. Specific dollar amounts raised, eligibility criteria for the scholarships, and the administering organization were not specified in the transcript.
