Bronson Home Run for Life<\/h2>\n

During select Growlers home games, the Growlers in conjunction with Bronson Sports Medicine will recognize pre-selected individual(s) on the field during an in-inning break.<\/p>\n

The honoree is someone who has overcome some type of serious, debilitating illness.<\/p>\n

During the inning break, the honoree and their support team are taken to the field. The honoree will stand at home plate with both teams lined up on the basepaths while their story is told over the P.A. system for fans to hear.<\/span><\/p>\n

The honoree will then take their own, symbolic turn around the bases. They are greeted at home plate by loved ones with both teams and all fans standing to applaud.<\/p>\n

The 2025 Home for Life recipients are: Jackson Farrell, Malachai Stancle (2011 – 2015), and Ashley Schmidt.<\/p>\n<\/div>
