The Village for Families & Children has partnered with the Hartford Yard Goats for a special night of baseball on May 19 at Dunkin Donuts Stadium in Hartford. Fans will enjoy an evening game with proceeds benefitting The Village, a behavioral health organization that provides critical mental health care for thousands children, adults and families each year. Fans will also be entered to win a four-pack of tickets for a Hartford Yard Goats game with each ticket purchase, which must be made through The Village’s website (click here).

The Village was one of the first agencies in the country to provide homes for neglected children. Today, The Village continues to achieve its mission “to build a community of strong, healthy families who protect and nurture children” by providing a full range of behavioral health, early childhood and youth development, substance use treatment and support services for children, adults and families in the Greater Hartford, Connecticut region.
