Kellee Haggy, who has been battling cancer for several years, threw out the ceremonial first pitch of her daughter's team's game against Anderson College, part of a Bluffton softball/baseball doubleheader to "Strike Out Cancer."
The fundraising event generated about $1,850 for the American Cancer Society through several activities that day. Among them was an auction of the special purple and pink shirts worn by Bluffton softball players during their game and by the baseball Beavers during batting practice before their game against Defiance.
