Day 3 of fall practice for LCC Softball was not spent on the field. Instead, the Red Devils took on more important business than hitting, pitching, fielding and throwing.
 
On Thursday, September 10, the Devils stepped away from the softball diamond to work together to serve the Longview-Kelso community, as part of the United Way's Day of Caring.
 
The Day of Caring brings together individuals, businesses, and organizations for one powerful day of hands-on projects that support local nonprofits. LCC Softball has joined the local effort every year since 2015.
 
Their day was spent at the Children's Discovery Museum in Kelso, a child-friendly space located in the old Catlin Elementary School – where children and their families can engage in imaginative, interactive, and hands-on learning experiences in the arts, science, and social play. 
 
The 18 Red Devil players worked in three groups of six to wash windows, sand and paint interior doors, power wash, clean out a cluttered storage area and other cleanup work. It was a great team effort and a perfect opportunity to work together and bond as a new team early in the season.
 
"It was a fun day, and I was really proud of how our women worked together to serve an awesome organization like the Children's Museum," Coach Traci Fuller said. "The Day of Caring is a tradition for our program and is a highlight of our season."
