Bat for Cystic Fibrosis
Despite his lung crippling disease, always looked forward to playing--and dominating--Big Bat Bopper Baseball matches at PMHS. To honor their athletic and vivacious friend who succumbed to Cystic Fibrosis in November, Rossman’s friends have organized a charity in his name on Sunday morning in the gyms at PMS and PMHS. Sign up to play, or just go to support the cause. All proceeds go directly to the The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Purchase chapter.
