We wrapped up summer with a home run of community joy! On September 5th, CLCL FFoundation families gathered at ShoreTown Ballpark in Lakewood, NJ for a Free Family Fun Night hosted by the incredible Jersey Shore BlueClaws.
This special evening was more than baseball—it was a celebration of togetherness, resilience, and hometown pride. Families reconnected, recharged, and rallied around our community’s youth in a space filled with laughter, love, and shared memories.
Just as children learn through play, so do families. Time spent together strengthens bonds, improves communication, and builds natural resiliency—protecting and buffering during times of stress or crisis. That’s the heart of CLCL’s Free Family Fun Night (FFFN) events: joyful connection with lasting impact.
💙 Highlights from the night included:
- Free admission for CLCL families
- A chance to meet Buster, the beloved BlueClaws mascot
- Smiles, cheers, and shared excitement throughout the game
- A dazzling fireworks finale that lit up the sky—and the eyes of our families!
We’re deeply grateful to the Jersey Shore BlueClaws for their generosity and partnership. Thank you for making space for joy, for believing in community, and for helping us build a brighter future—one inning at a time.
We can’t wait to cheer you on again next season!
