For the Rapids City Times 

WISCONSIN RAPIDS – With the help of the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters, Aspirus Riverview Foundation will host a “Covering the Bases” family night out on June 24.

All moms, dads, teachers, and kids are invited. The kids will participate in fun activities with the Rafters baseball team and Rosco Rafter. The adults will learn from Craig Rasmussen, a licensed clinical social worker with Aspirus Behavioral Health, about common mental health and emotional issues facing children. The adults will also get tips from Dani Kilps and Josh Scott, athletic trainers with Aspirus Riverview Therapies, on how to help children avoid common sports and playtime injuries, as well as how to recognize and treat concussions.

Everyone will take part in a big game of “Simon Says” in the outfield, enjoy great ballpark snacks like hotdogs and popcorn, and take home a fun gift.

“Covering the Bases” will be held June 24, from 5:30-7 p.m. at Witter Field in Wisconsin Rapids. The event will be held rain or shine, unless there is a severe weather watch/warning.

 Attendance is free, but registration is required by June 14. To register, visit aspirus.org/AspiringWomen or call 1-800-847-4707.
