ERIE, Pa. - The Penn State Behrend baseball program is excited to once again support alum, Ryan Smith, and Grady's Decision this winter. The baseball program will continue to participate in a NO SHAVE November.

"Our program is eager for No shave November in support of Grady's Decision," said head coach Paul Benim. "Ryan Smith is an integral part of our baseball family, and through Grady's Decision he continues to make a positive impact on families in our region every day. Our players, alumni and families and friends have raised financial support for Grady's over the past several years and we are proud to be connected with this incredible organization."

Grady's Decision was created to help families experiencing premature births as well as those families with children needing specialized medical attention. Grady's Decision can assist with parking costs, food, housing and transportation needs. They serve as a beacon of hope through prayer, words of encouragement, gifts and acts of kindness. Grady's Decision provides an avenue for people to donate and assist these family members during this difficult and emotional time.

Please consider talking to a Behrend Lions baseball player or contacting coach Paul Benim (prb3@psu.edu) about making a donation to Grady's Decision. You may also visit gradysdecision.com to donate directly.
