&lt;p&gt;Frozen Ropes has been a proud sponsor of the Jimmy Fund Fantasy Day&amp;nbsp;for 3 years. Our&amp;nbsp;inflatable pitching station and video analysis system is set up in the&amp;nbsp;concourse. Players of all ages can test their&amp;nbsp;throwing speed and our staff&amp;nbsp;gives free instruction.&amp;nbsp; Each year some of our staff are also invited to take some swings and play&amp;nbsp;the outfield.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This year Frozen Ropes&amp;nbsp;is looking to increase the total donation to the Jimmy Fund by finding other businesses and individuals to join our team on the field during hitting and fielding.&amp;nbsp; You must register&amp;nbsp;directly with the &lt;a href="http://www.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=299682" target="_blank"&gt;Jimmy Fund.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; Registration&amp;nbsp;includes a uniform, pictures, hitting and fielding spot (approx 15 swings and 30 minutes fielding), DVD of your at-bats, etc.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;There is also an option for a player under 18 to hit only&amp;nbsp;(at a reduced&amp;nbsp;price).&amp;nbsp;Anyone on our team would also be able to come to one of several free&amp;nbsp;"training" sessions at our facility&amp;nbsp;in Natick for some comradery, practice and instructional help prior to the event.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On June 28, 2008 Frozen Ropes Natick volunteered its time and expertise at the &lt;strong&gt;Jimmy Fund Fantasy Day at Fenway Park&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Since 1992, Jimmy Fund Fantasy Day has raised nearly $6 million in support of cancer research and patient care at Dana-Farber.&amp;nbsp; Members of the Frozen Ropes staff, including owners &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;John Badaracco&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Steve Abbatine&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, welcomed young participants and invited them to see how fast they throw on the Frozen Ropes Inflatable, which was setup in the concourse at Fenway Park.&amp;nbsp; The Frozen Ropes staff also provided hitting instruction to on-field participants in the visitors batting cage, as well as headlined a seminar on the finer points of hitting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Frozen Ropes looks forward to the opportunity to help raise money for the Jimmy Fund in June 2009!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
