Earlier this week Nutzy, LHP John Michael Bertrand and RHP Carson Ragsdale took some FUNN to the Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU where each child received a youth replica jersey. #Community #FlyingSquirrels #Richmond #Baseball

On Saturday, Flying Squirrels infielders Will Wilson and Dilan Rosario as well as pitchers John Michael Bertrand and Tyler Myrick spent time at the ASK Childhood Cancer Foundation 5K and Fun Walk at The Diamond in support of the families across Virginia who are battling childhood cancer. The Flying Squirrels players high-fived children as part of the ASK Childhood Cancer Foundation as they made the Kourageous Kids Victory Lap around the bases. Want to host a 5k or any event at The Diamond? Email us at info@squirrelsbaseball.com.

"Disability Inclusion Day is a way to let the entire community know that the disability community is important and belongs like everybody else, and we are going to work to make that happen."
