Hit a Thon & Home Run Derby


Balls were flying over the fence at Memorial Field in Southington, as The Mill Foundation for Kids and the Southington Northern Little League partnered to host a Hit A Thon and Home Run Derby in June.

The event drew over 100 participants for both events and raised over $3,000.

Congratulations to Connor John (pictured right with Mill Foundation for Kids President Brian Taylor and Board Member Jake Biscoglio) who was crowned as the Home Run Derby champion!

The Mill Foundation For Kids, Inc., along with Southington North Baseball, is proud to sponsor the first annual Kids Helping Kids Hit-A-Thon and HR Derby events! What is a hit-a-thon? Each participant, open to all SNLL players, will collect pledges for the total distance of three hit balls (or a flat donation). The distance of each hit is measured and multiplied by the per foot pledge.

The Home Run Derby is for Major League players only who have hit a home run during the major’s season. Each participant will have the opportunity to hit as many home runs as he can, using the pitcher of his choice, with a limited number of outs available (any result other than a home run is considered an out). Participants will collect pledges per the number of home runs hit (or a flat donation). All proceeds raised through these events will be used by the foundation to support its mission. The goal of the day is to provide kids in SNLL the opportunity to help other kids who are dealing with illness and are less fortunate.

The group is a Southington-based, 501(c)3 charity (EIN 51-0612597) whose mission is to ease the burden of children dealing with pediatric illness by providing toys and gifts to children’s facilities for the use of children recovering from illness.
