WINSTON-SALEM, NC – July 9, 2024 – The Law Offices of Timothy D. Welborn proudly served as the presenting sponsor of the “Home Runs For Heroes” initiative throughout the 2024 Wake Forest Baseball season. Through this partnership, the local law firm made a commitment to donate $100 to Victory Junction for every home run hit by the Wake Forest Demon Deacons at David F. Couch Ballpark, home of the Deacs’.
Victory Junction is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing life-changing camping experiences for children with serious illnesses. These experiences are designed to be exciting, fun, and empowering, at no cost to the children or their families.
“My office was proud to support the Home Runs for Heroes program this season,” said Tim Welborn. “We embrace Wake Forest’s motto ‘Pro Humanitate,’ and support Victory Junction’s mission to provide life-changing camp experiences for children with chronic or life-threatening illnesses. This cause hits close to home, as my daughter Lilly found joy and support at Victory Junction for many summers. I am thrilled that this partnership will provide camp experiences for more deserving children this summer.”
“Thank you to Timothy Welborn, Wake Forest University, and the Wake Forest baseball team for ‘hitting a home run’ for the Victory Junction campers,” said Chad Coltrane, President and Chief Executive Officer of Victory Junction. “It truly takes a village to provide the life-changing services Victory Junction provides free of charge. These camp experiences provide opportunities for children whose lives are dominated by their illness to experience the joy, freedom, and friendship. Most importantly, it allows them to just be a kid and “raise a ruckus.”
Throughout the season, the Wake Forest baseball team showcased their power with an impressive 71 home runs at The Couch, resulting in a total donation of $7,100 to Victory Junction. This contribution will directly support the organization’s mission to enrich the lives of children facing serious health challenges.
“Victory Junction is a special place that makes a huge impact on the lives of so many families. We would like to thank the Law Offices of Timothy Welborn for including us in this unique partnership,” said Wake Forest Baseball Head Coach, Tom Walter. “We are very much looking forward to getting our 2024-25 ballclub out to Victory Junction in the Fall.”
All Wake Forest athletics sponsorship agreements are managed by athletic media rights holder Wake Forest Sports Properties, the locally based team of Learfield, the media and technology company powering college athletics.
