🥎⚾ Earlier this year, we hosted a Pitch, Hit, and Run event at Booster Park as part of Diamond Dayz. We're pleased to report that five participants from that event qualified for the next level of competition, which will be held at Nationals Parks tomorrow!

Please join us in congratulating Anna, Caleigh, Gunner, Holden, and Everleigh (not pictured) on their success, and wish them the best of luck as some of them compete tomorrow for a chance to advance to the finals (hosted during the World Series)! We sent them off with some sweet OCPR swag as a good luck charm.

Good luck and swing for the fences!

🚑Helpful Tip Tuesday: Keep Moving🚑

Regular physical activity can help support your heart, strength, balance, mood, and overall health. You don’t have to run a marathon—small steps add up!

💙 Take a walk around the neighborhood
💙 Stretch while watching TV
💙 Park a little farther away
💙 Garden, dance, or play with the kids
💙 Start with just 10 minutes and build from there

The best activity is one you enjoy and can safely make part of your routine.

🚑 Consejo útil del martes: ¡Manténgase en movimiento! 🚑

La actividad física regular puede ayudar a cuidar su corazón, fortalecer sus músculos, mejorar el equilibrio, el estado de ánimo y su salud en general. ¡No tiene que correr un maratón—pequeños pasos hacen una gran diferencia!

💙 Dé un paseo por el vecindario.
💙 Estírese mientras mira televisión.
💙 Estacione un poco más lejos de su destino.
💙 Haga jardinería, baile o juegue con los niños.
💙 Comience con solo 10 minutos y aumente poco a poco.

La mejor actividad física es aquella que disfruta y que puede realizar de manera segura como parte de su rutina.
