It will be Wenatchee Valley College night at the Wenatchee AppleSox game on Aug. 3. Gates at the Paul Thomas Sr. Baseball Stadium will open at 6 p.m. and the game will begin at 7:05 p.m. The AppleSox will be playing the Victoria HarbourCats.

The National Anthem will be sung by WVC alumna Kari Page and the first pitch will be thrown by alumnus Malachi Salcido. Salcido was recently recognized at the Wenatchee Valley College Foundation Gala as the 2018 Distinguished Alumni for his community service and for launching two local companies, The Salcido Connection and Salcido Enterprises. Page was the recipient of the award in 2017.

At the game, the Wenatchee Valley College Foundation will be collecting donations for the Knights Kupboard, WVC’s food pantry for students in need. Over 10 students visit the pantry each week during the academic year, which is run by the counseling department.

Food items needed for the pantry include nonperishable microwavable food, cereal, cereal bars, cooking oil, jams and peanut butter. Non-food items needed include shampoo, deodorant, tampons, menstrual pads, toothpaste and toothbrushes.
