Barons buddies program returns Tuesday
The Oklahoma City Barons program called “Barons Buddies” begins its second season Tuesday at the Cox Convention Center. The event will take place in the Exhibit Halls E & 3 near the southwest corner of the Cox Convention Center from 6–8:30 p.m.
The Barons Buddies program allows a family involved with Special Olympics Oklahoma to be “adopted” by a player on the Barons roster. The team hosts a series of events during the season that brings the families together for a fun night with their adopted player. In addition to participating in the three events, the families are invited to the Barons home game Feb. 1 against Charlotte.
Last season, the Barons and Special Olympics created memories for 20 athletes and their families and raised over $25,000 in the process via the team wearing and auctioning one-of-a-kind jerseys.
The first of the series of events is Tuesday night. The families have the opportunity to meet the players at the Cox Convention Center for a night of games. The second night in January is a bowling outing and the third night is an off-site pizza party near the end of the Barons regular season.
