Dell Children's Medical Center Visit

Thank you for your support and contribution towards Dell's Children's Hospital and Westwood Softball, you are greatly appreciated!

The upperclassmen of the Westwood Softball team visited Dell's Children's Hospital during their athletic block on Wednesday, Nov. 12. While visiting, they met many of the kids and designed t-shirts and door hangers with them. This event allowed many of the athletes an opportunity to give back to the community, while making a connection with each kids they met.
