💛 A HEARTFELT THANK-YOU FROM THE MILLEE KATE BENEFIT TOURNAMENT 💛
Together, we raised an incredible $12,650 for Millee Kate and her family! That number represents far more than money—it represents the love, generosity and strength of an entire community coming together for one special little girl.
This tournament could not have happened without the hard work and support of so many amazing people and organizations.
A very special thank-you to:
💛 The City of Corbin for allowing us to use the fields.
💛 Corbin Parks and Recreation for preparing all five baseball fields.
💛 Our amazing grounds crew, who responded to every need throughout tournament play and kept everything running smoothly.
💛 The Corbin High School baseball team for providing umpires and scorekeepers.
💛 The Union College athletes who volunteered as umpires and scorekeepers.
💛 The Chad Imel Youth Baseball Foundation for donating the Millee Kate shirts and concession items.
💛 South & Main and Carla Hinkle for printing the Millee Kate shirts.
💛 Alicia Hinkle and everyone who helped her decorate the fields and create the banners. Everything looked absolutely amazing and made the weekend even more special!
💛 Bluegrass Appalachian Tournaments and Sam Sparkman for donating the championship rings.
💛 Crystal Clean and Debbie Kuhl for donating the Home Run Derby trophies and finalist T-shirts.
💛 Bimbo Bakery for donating the hot dog and hamburger buns.
💛 Borden Dairy for donating the sweet tea and drinks.
💛 Fastenal for donating the water.

💛 Renfro for generously donating candy for the concession stands.
💛 Our wonderful food and drink vendors—Pap’s BBQ, Red Dawg Hot Dog Stand, Abide Coffee and Sugar Rush—for joining us and helping make the weekend even better!
💛 The incredible Swing Kings volunteers who stepped up wherever they were needed and made my job so much easier. You all are truly awesome, and I appreciate each of you more than you know!
And, of course, thank you to every team, coach, player, umpire, scorekeeper, volunteer, sponsor and spectator who helped make this tournament work so seamlessly.
I truly love the people of this community. We may be competitive when we step onto the field, but we are also a loving and compassionate community that comes together when someone needs us most.
This weekend was about so much more than baseball—it was about showing Millee Kate and her family just how many people are standing beside them.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for helping us raise $12,650 and making this weekend so special. We are blessed to be part of something much bigger than ourselves.
💛 $12,650 RAISED—MILLEE KATE STRONG! 💛
