BEHIND THE SCENES

Play Ball!

Mountain States loves to give back to the community. As one of our community projects this year, MSA purchased baseball rolling bags for our local Allstar baseball team in Bernalillo (10- to 11-year-old division). We had the bags customized with their last name and the MSA logo. Last week, we went to the field ahead of practice and hung the bags up on the fence to surprise the players as they arrived at practice. Watching their shock and excitement as they realized not only was there a bag for them, but it had their name on it was amazing. 

Parents and players were both very appreciative. This is what makes us different. We are showing the community and younger generation that we care about them and are invested in their future. Great idea Chris Chavez! Thanks for letting MSA be a part of this and keep working hard kids! ❤
